 | I hadn’t noticed, thanks for telling me. There is an unfortunate problem
 | with it, though: you can’t use an architecture restriction like [arch1
 | !arch2] in Build-Depends. That is, you can’t mix ! and non-!; if you

 | Just removing “alpha” completely from the Build-Depends line will just
 | do the right thing as far as I can see. Could you make another upload?

Thanks,
