The latest upload has dropped libelf-dev from Build-Conflicts which is a
welcome change.  However, there is the problem that screen automagically
links with -lelf if it is available, and screen-udeb then gains an
unfulfillable dependency on libelf1:

,----
| $ dpkg-deb -f screen-udeb_4.6.2-2_i386.udeb Depends 
| libc6-udeb (>= 2.27), libelf1 (>= 0.132), libtinfo6-udeb (>= 6.1)
`----

Upstream has stopped linking with libelf in commit d641761d83[1], I
suggest doing the same in the Debian package.  According to
dpkg-shlibdeps, screen does not use any symbols from libelf.
