Yes.

The problem is that nlist.h is provided too by libelf*-dev, so libbsd-dev
has had to Replace those, which is actually wrong, as then the file will
disappear in the following sequence:
apt-get install libbsd-dev libelf-dev
apt-get remove libbsd-dev
After this, packages Build-Depending on libelf-dev will no longer be
able to find nlist.h. For the next libbsd upstream release I've actually
moved all those headers under /usr/include/bsd/, so this will have to
be fixed anyway.
libkvm-dev could instead Build-Depend on libelf-dev/libelfg0-dev, but
given that it's linking against libbsd anyway, it seems like a
gratuituous build and runtime dependency.
