It's also a real package:
  libextutils-parsexs-perl | 2.220600-1 | sid | source, all

Could you please tell what has problems with this? There was a bug[1] in
sbuild breaking this, but it should be fixed now.

For me building in unstable fails for a different reason:

  The following packages have unmet dependencies:
   libgmp3-dev : Depends: libgmpxx4ldbl (= 2:4.3.2+dfsg-1) but it is not going to be installed
  E: Broken packages
  apt-get failed.

But this looks like an unrelated temporary problem.

Ansgar
