Yes :)

If it doesn't build with g++ 3.0, you should use a Build-Conflicts,
not a versioned build-depends. And it probably fails becouse g++ has
an epoch, so it will always be larger than 3.0. At least, that's what
I think.

Anyways, you'd better use Build-Conflicts, or (preferred) port your
package to g++ 3.0.
