This log snippet might be of interest, since it triggered the matcher 'Purging chroot-autobuild'.
Excerpt 714 lines into the build log:

checking for EVTLOG... no
configure: error: Package requirements (eventlog >= 0.2.12) were not met:

Requested 'eventlog >= 0.2.12' but version of EventLog is 0.2.7

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables EVTLOG_CFLAGS
and EVTLOG_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

This is a bug in the package. The build-dependency of libevtlog-dev should be versioned.

-Build-Depends: quilt, debhelper (>= 5), libnet1-dev, libevtlog-dev, libssl-dev,
+Build-Depends: quilt, debhelper (>= 5), libnet1-dev, libevtlog-dev (>=0.2.12), libssl-dev,

This bug happens because eventlog 0.2.12-1 is also FTBFS: bug 791265
