Further Build-Depends for building in a clean chroot, giving up for now (-> likely incomplete):

Usage so far:

make a fresh git repository and then run

git archive -o ../pdns_3.2.orig.tar.gz --prefix pdns-3.2/ HEAD
dpkg-buildpackage

This should result in packages. You can use dpkg-buildpackage -b to skip the git archive phase to produce just binaries. Also, running with env STATIC=1 dpkg-buildpackage -b should generate semistatic package

standard build works for me now; didn't try the STATIC build yet.
There are a few things that could/should be improved, but I guess they can wait.
