circular build-dependency in debconf



debconf_0.3.81.dsc has:

Build-Depends: perl5, debhelper (>= 2.0.98), debconf-utils, gettext,
libapt-pkg-dev, g++

But dpkg -p debconf-utils says:

Depends: debconf (>= 0.3.31)

So one can't compile debconf without having it already installed. Is
this circular dependeny policy-compliant, or should it be?

How should one break the circle, force installation of debconf-utils?
This is probably an issue with autobuilding.
