I hit the same issue as well

[antony-rheneus]

dh-exec packagec is removed during sonic-slave-stretch build along with other packages.
I suspect it because of the stretch-backports.

Need to override the apt auto remove behaviour

I have successfully resolved the issue by executing the command chmod -x debian/*.install
