Hello Lucas,

I am assuming a bug in an underlying package and ask to reassign this bug.

Indeed, sbuild tends to drop alternative build-depends in order to
enforce deterministic builds.

I'm not sure if there's a bug in sbuild there, but given that squeeze
and later have base-files>= 6.0, I'd recommend just dropping the
alternative build-dep.

The source package as is builds for older versions of Debian too. The idea of this dependency is to make an optional build dependency. I didn't find any other means to achieve it.

So on Squeeze it is supposed to use "python3-all-dev" and on earlier version, it should accept that it is missing.

If "sbuild" prefers the first choice (kind of makes sense now that I write this sentence), I should probably just reorder in the next upload, and that would fix the bug.

As to deterministic, are you implying that the choice is not made in a deterministic way? It probably is just that somebody or something hates it when not all choices are valid.

Best regards,
Kay Hayen
