That it is what I fear. I understand right what only debian part of 
sources is old? And I need to rm it and create new?

I try it but got error on:
/usr/bin/make distclean
make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/ocfs-tools'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `distclean'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/ocfs-tools'
make: *** [clean] Error 2
dpkg-buildpackage: failure: fakeroot debian/rules clean gave error exit 
status 2

Than I comment it I still got error:
debconf-updatepo
No PO directory found, use the --podir flag to tell where it is... exiting

Ok, thank you.

Yes - it is good hint, thank you.
