Where can I find the deferred package? I found nothing at
https://ftp-master.debian.org/deferred/

I'd like to confirm the package you sponsored shipped
the correct patch, since the original one is somewhat buggy.

The correct patch contains changelog like so:

+protobuf (3.0.0-7.1) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+  * Non-maintainer upload.
+  * Build python3-protobuf, thanks to Thomas Viehmann. (Closes: #836821)
+  * Add the missing B-D "libgtest-dev". (Closes: #836826)
+  * Add "python3-six" to B-D, which is required by python3 test.

P.S. python module "six" is required according to setup.py, I found that
debomatic-amd64 tried to download and install the "six" package with pip
at the python3 test stage, which should never happen according to policy
(no download during build). Hence the addition of python3-six.
