http://bootstrap.debian.net/cross.html shows that patchutils has
unsatisfiable cross Build-Depends. The problem is that rpm cannot be
installed for non-native architectures. While this should be fixed in
rpm, patchutils no longer needs rpm. It was formerly used for the
gendiff tests, but those were rewritten to not rely on the gendiff tool
from the rpm package anymore. So please drop rpm from Build-Depends.
Then patchutils can be automatically tested for cross building. Patch
attached.
