Hello,

Indeed sawfish have already been debianized but I think the set of
packages {librep, rep-gtk, sawfish} lacks maintenance|maintainers as
noticed:

http://listengine.tuxfamily.org/lists.tuxfamily.org/sawfish/2012/04/msg00051.html

PS: Why do you run dpkg-buildpackage as root despite fakeroot simulates
root privileges?

Regards,

POMPEE William
