There have not been any changes made on purpose.  install_deps() is
called before build().  One possiblity is that the logging stream PLOG
is doing some odd buffering in subprocesses, and flushing the stream at
certain points would help (the logging is done in a separate process).

It would be interesting to know the the git master head 
  git://git.debian.org/git/buildd-tools/sbuild
also suffers from this problem, and if the log is identical between
sbuild runs.

sbuild has had quite a lot of refactoring done over the last two weeks
or so, and it's possible that something broke as a result, but none of
this work should have changed the program logic.
