I'm afraid this is a long-standing issue with sbuild. Alternative build-dependencies are just not supported. You'll see there are a number of existing bug reports regarding this issue. Note that one disadvantage of them is that it can potentially make builds non-deterministic, which is probably why not much effort went in to making them work. However, the sbuild dependency resolver is now modular, so you can use an aptitude-based resolver in place of the older internal resolver, which /may/ work better (but isn't in use on the normal buildds yet). Just set $build_dep_resolver="internal|aptitude" in sbuild.conf. Regards, Roger -- .''`.
