Thanks for the link!  Now I can see the build failures.
BTW, it looks like the build does not apply the debian/patches/.  Don't
know if that's intentional or not.

See the attached.
 - debian/rules: modified a few configure flags and added one for the
   API spec (BTW, 6ffeb909 fixed a brain fart for that option)
 - debian/control: add transfig as a build dependency for the spec (BTW,
   we do PDF now too but that requires pdflatex and gs as well)
 - debian/patches/multiarch_dll_searc_path.patch: adjust to upstream
   changes

Note that this only aims to fix the xenial build but the other builds
should be mostly identical if not exactly.

I've checked

  debian/rules binary
  dpkg-buildpackage -b

and both complete without a hitch, on xenial (in a Docker container).

Hope this helps,
