I think it's related to this debian/control snippet introduced in last version 
of libconfig-model-perl package:


  Recommends: bash-completion (>= 1:1.0-3), 
    libfuse-perl, 
    fuse-utils, 
    libmodule-corelist-perl (>= ${corelist:Depends})

${corelist:Depends} is computed in debian/rules:

  CORELIST = $(shell apt-cache policy libmodule-corelist-perl | awk 
'/Candidate/ {sub(/-[^-]+$$/,"",$$2); print $$2;}')
 	
 	%:
 	dh $@ --with bash-completion
 	
 	override_dh_gencontrol:
 	dh_gencontrol -- \
 	-Vcorelist:Depends="$(CORELIST)" 

Looks like CORELIST variable can be empty in the buildd. 

We need to re-think how this dependency is computed.
