I am the one responsible for a change in the build-depdendency resolver
used by the Salsa-CI pipelines.
Before the change, they used "apt-get build-dep ." to gather the
build-deps, but this didn't work for *-backports or experimental or
Jessie. Also it would pull in recommended packages, which could make the
build unreproducible and is agains Policy 4.2.
I changed the resolver to use a combination of mk-build-deps and
aptitude, the same as sbuild and pbuilder use to resolve build-deps, to
better handle alternatives.
You may have hid an edge case I didn't encounter during my testing.

Do you have a pipeline log on Salsa showing the mis-selection of
build-deps? During a cursory glance I could only find logs showing the
use of libcurl4-gnutls-dev.
