Last time I built a package on Debian based distro was too much ago but
I remember I searched something like "debian rebuild deb package".
For instance I found https://raphaelhertzog.com/2010/12/15/howto-to-rebuild-debian-packages/
The key is the command "apt-get build-dep" that will install all needed
dependencies. Although you don't want to build a Debian package it will
install the dependencies needed for the sources.
One possible missing dependencies looking at error above is some systemd
development package.
