Dear Maintainer,

This package build fails during the configure step if libbrotli-dev is not installed.
It appears to be missing from BuildDep.

I'm gonna try to use reportbug to attach a build log.

Thanks,
Ted Stier

 It has nothing to do with ntfs-3g. I see three things:
1) You are changing the package to be non-official:
-- cut --
dpkg-buildpackage: info: source package ntfs-3g
dpkg-buildpackage: info: source version 1:2022.10.3-2
dpkg-buildpackage: info: source distribution unstable
dpkg-buildpackage: info: source changed by Theodoric Stier <kerdek7@gmail.com>
-- cut --

2) The package does not need and doesn't check for brotli. Your build
log clearly show this:
-- cut --
configure:14736: checking for gnutls >= 1.4.
configure:14743: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "gnutls >= 1.4.4"
Package libbrotlienc was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libbrotlienc.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'libbrotlienc', required by 'gnutls', not found
Package 'libbrotlidec', required by 'gnutls', not found
Package 'libzstd', required by 'gnutls', not found
configure:14746: $? = 1
configure:14760: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "gnutls >= 1.4.4"
Package libbrotlienc was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libbrotlienc.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'libbrotlienc', required by 'gnutls', not found
Package 'libbrotlidec', required by 'gnutls', not found
-- cut --

It is gnutls which needs brotli, not ntfs-3g.

3) Official gnutls28 packages don't build with brotli so it seems you
have an unofficial one or you tampered with that as well.
