You are correct, but apt-get build-dep doesn't know this. I have since
been educated as to the source of this problem. It is in fact a bug in
apt-get build-dep that doesn't handle OR's very well. Bugs 98640
126938 131265 and 145997 are manifestations of this bug. Not even going
in and satisfying the build-deps by hand lets apt-build build the
package. Sorry for the static.
