This is the repository snapshot; GitHub is a bit confusing in that regard. 
The correct address as from the accouncement mail is:

   https://github.com/lepton-eda/lepton-eda/releases/download/1.9.16-20210731/lepton-eda-1.9.16.tar.gz

Building from the repository snapshot should work just like building from 
the checked-out sources, so this may be an additional, unrelated problem.

Hmm.  Maybe "gbp buildpackage" does the trick?  But I'd recommend building 
from the release tarball anyway.
