package: dpkg-dev
severity: important
version: 1.17.1

Not sure why this affects only one specific build-dependency, but it
seems that dpkg-buildpackage happily goes on to start building
chromium even when its (current) binutils-gold build-dependency is not
installed.  Other chromium build-dependencies when missing will be
flagged as such by dpkg-buildpackage.

Not sure if this is a new issue, since the trigger that made the
problem pop up is that as of a week ago there is no longer a
binutils-gold package in unstable.  Example problematic build log:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=chromium-browser&arch=i386&ver=28.0.1500.95-1&stamp=1375265114

Thanks for looking into this.

Best wishes,
Mike
