Just before reading the bug report, I have experienced the same problem when packaging your new revision 0.9.3 and testing it in a sid/unstable chroot (my base installation is stretch/testing). This problem falls into the "release critical" category, as all those Debian packages using dblatex for creating PDF documentation won't build any longer...
