sorry, me writing this was not supposed to come across as "I think that you are
wrong, so here is further evidence that I'm right". Instead, all I knew was
what was written by Otto and (same as myself) Otto wasn't sure whether this was
a bug in equivs or something else. So what I wanted to say was "this problem
indeed only started happening once the new equivs version got uploaded".

Again, I don't want to be confrontational here. I don't understand as much
about equivs as you do. But what I tested is completely independent from
mk-build-deps. What I tried was running:
equivs-build /usr/share/doc/equivs/examples/webserver.ctl
And I got the same error as Otto ("Unmet build dependencies:
build-essential:native") -- even when I tried with all the other control files
in the examples directory. So if the bug is indeed not in equivs, then there
must be a bug in the control files?
Sorry if I came across as confrontational -- that was not my intention. Please
ignore this mail in case I still didn't manage to make sense.
Thanks!
cheers, josch
