Bug#171542: apt-get build-dep advi (as sarge) does not download ocamltk

["Faheem Mitha" <faheem@email.unc.edu>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Severity: normal

apt-get build-dep advi does nothing.

Chrestomanci:/home/faheem# apt-get build-dep advi

However ocamltk is not installed on my system and is a build requirement for
advi. pbuilder (for example) locates this with no problem

Chrestomanci:/usr/local/src/advi/advi-1.2.0#
/usr/lib/pbuilder/pbuilder-satisfydepends
...
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  ocamltk

Ok, maybe there is some problem with ocamltk. For example

dpkg -l ocamltk

says "No packages found matching ocamltk"

which is sort of peculiar. But should not apt at least complain about
ocamltk or something? If this is not a problem with apt, please feel free to
reassign the bug.
