Given the facts that
- this package built fine in my i386 chroot which doesn't have
  libbsd-dev installed;
- the build log doesn't say anything about libbsd-dev;
- the package built fine everywhere except for armhf
I'm a bit skeptical that the build problem on armhf is really about
the missing libbsd-dev package, and that adding it, at least for all
architectures, is the way to go.

Maybe we should find out why the package looks for libutil.h only on
armhf? Might be the package or something different in perl or whatnot
