debian/rules being:

#!/usr/bin/make -f

PACKAGEVERSION = $(VERSION)-0~$(DISTRIBUTION)0

	dh $@

Looks like can be fixed by adding line override_dh_auto_build: to debian/rules:

#!/usr/bin/make -f
DISTRIBUTION = testing
VERSION = 0.0.1
PACKAGEVERSION = $(VERSION)-0~$(DISTRIBUTION)0

%:
	dh $@

override_dh_auto_test:
override_dh_auto_configure:
	dh_auto_configure --  --disable-sanitizers
override_dh_gencontrol:
	dh_gencontrol -- -v$(PACKAGEVERSION)
override_dh_auto_build:
