This used to happen with PHP too. I don't know how the Launchpad
builders do it but it does work as we want there. The FTBFS happens with
local sbuild defaults only and you have to override locally as you
found. So not an issue for the archive unless you're seeing behaviour
that contradicts my assumptions here?

With the PHP situation Debian buildds handled it fine too.

I think the Build-Depends line specified is entirely compliant with the
spec and will work correctly except for sbuild's local defaults. Since
prior cases haven't considered this to be a bug in packaging, I don't
think this case is either, so I think this bug should be marked Invalid.

However, this doesn't preclude changing the packaging to make it more
convenient for sbuild users, etc, in which case feel free to keep the
bug open. Swapping it around as Utkarsh suggests might make sense
anyway, since conventionally we use the first alternative to mean the
preferred alternative (resolvers will default to earlier ones where
possible, etc).
