According to policy:
  expect (>= 5.38.0) [!hppa, !hurd-i386]
is:
  expect (>= 5.38.0) [!hppa
  !hurd-i386]

Which instructs that the required dependencies are 
  'expect' package and '!hurd-i386]' (whatever that is).


I have been told[1] that lintian already does the necessary
checks, and I don't think pbuilder really needs to go and 
check the syntactical correctness above what it currently does.
