That's a bug, yes. However, using | in b-deps is generally not a good
idea, since it might lead to different binary packages being generated
on different arches. So I'm not sure that it's a bug that we want to fix.
Also, the packaged sbuild follows the DSA sbuild, so the change should
be made in the DSA sbuild first.

Now, if you prefer to leave your package's b-deps like that, I don't
mind: I'll just add it to the long list of arch:all packages that sbuild
can't build because of dependency resolution problems ;)
