To get reliable build results, the buildd network removes alternative
build dependencies when building for unstable; only the first
alternative is used.  They are only used for the *-backports and
experimental suites (I admit I'm not sure about stable uploads, but
they should *not* be used there).

As usual there is a small exception: if you have

  Build-Depends: a [i386] | b | c

then the `a [i386]` is discarded on non-i386 earlier, that is, one
would get "a" on i386 and "b" everywhere else.

See the `RESOLVE_ALTERNATIVES` option in man:sbuild.conf(5) for more
details.
