This doesn't look sane anyway:

Depends: isdnutils(>=1:3.1pre1b-1), isdnlog-data, debconf, libc6 (>= 2.2.3-7)
                                    ^^^^^^^^^^^^
Recommends: isdnlog-data
            ^^^^^^^^^^^^

(apart from the missing space for the first Depends, but that's not
crucial apparently).

If isdnlog depends on isdnlog-data, does isdnlog-data have to depend
on isdnlog as well?  If not, remove the dependency and you've won.
