It's not the Debian packages.  It's a general bug in the libafs_tree
target in OpenAFS.  It needs to copy over more of the configure machinery
than it does, such as not copying over the pre-generated param.h and
instead copying over the machinery to generate it.

Unfortunately, figuring out exactly what's broken and what additional bits
need to be copied over and built in a libafs build is a fair chunk of the
work that needs to be done.  It's probably not that hard, but it's a bit
tedious.  It's more than four hours of work, I think.
