We have the traditional "internal" resolver, which is a resolver implemented in sbuild, in perl, which has deficiencies dealing with alternative build dependencies, especially with virtual dependencies. We also have "apt" and "aptitude" resolvers, but these are not used by default. The "apt" and "aptitude" resolvers in unstable install a "dependency package", which Depends and Conflicts with the apppropriate Build-Depends and Build-Conflicts, and the build-deps are resolved entirely by apt-get or aptitude. The outstanding issue preventing their use is that of consistency and reproducibility. When given alternative dependencies, we need the same ones installing each time. aptitude will try multiple combinations, the internal resolver strictly left-to-right. apt-get should be flexible enough to try alternatives, without being as lax as aptitude. The apt-get resolver is still in development; it's much improved in our git repo, which I'll upload soon. I'd hope we can consider switching to it after we've released and tested it more. With the apt resolver, the consistency issue is mainly taken care of by always starting with a clean chroot, and now that we're using LVM snapshots, that's taken care of. Regards, Roger -- .''`.
