Hi,
after some research, I think that this bug is buildd-specific
rather than package-specific. See the pattern for 1.2.2-1:

* amd64
        brahms - failed (three in a row)
        braber - built (twice)
* sparc
        schroeder - failed (twice)
        spontini - built
* kfreebsd-am64
        fano - failed (twice)
        fasch -built

However, the pattern seems not to be consistent between 1.2.1-2,
1.2.1-3, 1.2.2-1 in some cases, like s390 and hppa builders (rotating
successes and failures).

I briefly compared the toolchains and the configure stages logged on
kfreebsd and amd64 builders, but I didn't notice interesting
differences.

Moreover, I tried to reproduce this both locally (amd64) and on sumotsu,
but it never failed (trying with both bash and dash).

I'm out of clues now. 
I think that "yes" and "no" are currently leaked
answer to something, which are incorrectly tried to be sourced
somewhere (pure speculation here, I didn't find the actual origin).

I also noticed a strange constant warning among build logs
"./configure.lineno: 5784: ${SHELL}: not found"
which I wasn't able to reproduce locally, nor to track down to the
source.

Cheers, Luca
