Running configure might report missing utilities and libraries. You
can install these with apt-get.

You should not run debuild as root, as it will fail tests. You can disable testing by editing `debian/rules` and adding
```
override_dh_auto_configure:
dh_auto_configure -- --disable-unittests
```

If you are not a package maintainer, it is recommend to disable package signing and linting:
`debuild --no-lintian -us -uc`
On newer debuild releases (Ubuntu 22.04+) you might also want to add `--no-tgz-check`.

may differ between Debian and Debian-like distributions. Adjust
as necessary.
