Hi Lior,

I've looked at this bug, but I'm not sure about your analysis.

All binary packages in opencv are arch-specific. Therefore, dependancy
problems between packages from opencv are unlikely.

In the log your pointed at, libcv-dev failed to satisfy its dep on
libhighgui-dev, but that was probably for another reason. Also, without
any change, it builds fine now.

Of course, it would be better if opencv didn't use ${Source-version},
but it's harmless here, I think.
