Bug#165404: apt-get build-dep doesn't figure out virtual dependencies

[Andrew Moise <moise@nauticom.net>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Severity: minor

  apt-get's manpage claims that apt-get build-dep chooses a package at
random for virtual build dependencies, but this doesn't happen:

pogo:/tmp/xmms-1.2.7# apt-get build-dep xmms
Reading Package Lists... Done

Package libgl-dev is a virtual package provided by:
  xlibmesa-dev 4.2.1-2
  mesag3+ggi-dev 3.4.2.1-4
  mesag-glide2-dev 3.4.2.1-4
  mesag-dev 3.4.2.1-4
