If that's the case, you have discovered a missing Build-Conflicts,
because, in theory, packages should always build the same regardless of
whatever you had previously installed.

Naturally, we can't test the building of a source package with all the
other 40000 binary packages not in the build-depends also installed,
so we can only add Build-Conflicts as they are discovered and reported.

If you are not already doing so, try building in a chroot with minimal
packages installed. That's the way to imitate autobuilders closely.

Thanks.
