 Yes, it has and will be resolved, again and again: With patience.
Please read the lately enriched FAQ:

Q: I have troubles installing $package because of strange
dependencies...

A: This is most of the times rooted in the above mentioned delay in
getting packages built for all architectures. The architecture
independent packages are available right from the start (because they
are included in the original upload) but the architecture depending
packages need a bit until they make it into the pool. 

 Have a nice day,
