I am happy to hear that you have solved your problem. You might
consider reporting a bug to the Debian emacs package concerning the
problem of a local emacs affecting the build. Having a version
/usr/local/bin/emacs shouldn't prevent the system packaged emacs from
installing. They could be separate from each other.
I once submitted a similar bug and the Debian package maintainer was
very responsive. We quickly determined that one particular elisp file
didn't like being byte compiled by emacs21 that I still had installed
on my system from long ago. Personally after finding that I was happy
to remove emacs21 and just move along but the package maintainer added
code in the postinstall script to handle that case going forward. It
was really a win-win.
