However, I notice there's a line: Note, selecting 'xtoolwait' instead of ' … … /xtoolwait_1.3-6.2_amd64.deb' which could suggest that the internals of the .deb file are being taken account of; I haven't studied the output from strace. xtoolwait is a legitimate Debian package, but it hasn't been available since squeeze. I also haven't checked wheezy: all this could postdate wheezy/jessie anyway.
