As I understand it, so long as the broken version of the build-dependency isn't
released, and there is a fixed version in the archive, you shouldn't have to
declare anything. The fixed version will eventually replace the broken one on
the autobuilders, and there's little point in declaring a conflict with a
package that will soon cease to exist.
