No, I believe Lucas is right. The first option *has* to be available in
practise, this is a long-standing difference between Policy and how
Debian (i.e.  the autobuilders) actually works.

It is OK (IMHO) to add the second Build-Depends to ease backporting, but
for unstable, we havet to make sure that the first is installable.

There will be a new upstream version of OpenBabel in the next days
anyway, and we can then address this problem.


cheers,

Michael
