afaik sbuild strips the alternatives while parsing the .dsc (or
d/control or whatever), before passing the information to the resolvers,
so even if you use another resolver for -bpo you still get the same
behaviour.

Well, sbuild's man page documents that the aptitude resolver will check alternatives. If it doesn't in practice, that sounds like a bug.
