AFAIK (and if I'm correct in my analysis) it is, but probably in how
apt-get resolves the dependencies. I hadn't reported it because I
tried to debug it but I couldn't find the correct debug option. Thus
reported now as bug #435662 [1].
BTW and FYI, the same bug is also present in aptitude :-(
Thx, bye,
