Indeed, this is the error message:

# apt-get build-dep gettext
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
E: Build-Depends dependency on gettext cannot be satisfied because the package libc0.3-dev cannot be found

This is not true, of course, the build depends is this one:

Build-Depends: libc6-dev (>= 2.2) | libc0.3-dev (>= 2.2) | libc6.1-dev (>= 2.2)

and may be satisfied by libc6-dev under the i386 architecture.

libc0.3-dev and libc6.1-dev are for hurd-i386, alpha and ia64, but
apt should *not* complain about this since they are "or"ed with "|".

This is a bug in apt. I'm doing a reassign.
