[buildd-tools-devel] Bug#871991: sbuild: please add build-essential to the sbuild-build-depends-foobar-dummy package

Package: sbuild
Version: 0.73.0-4
Severity: normal

Currently, the dummy package created by sbuild to satisfy build
dependencies does not depend on (cross)build-essential. This can lead to
the situation that the resolver or the explainer removes build-essential
to be able to satisfy the dependencies. This should not happen.

Instead, add (cross)build-essential to the Depends or even merge the
dummy binary package with the other package for the core dependencies.
