Broken build dependencies are often FTBFS in a build dependency,
and it creates extra work having to manually merge such bugs.

Please check why a build dependency is no longer installable before
opening such bugs.

I'm confused by what happened here exactly, and what I could have done to help 
the situation. Reading through #1084781 now to see the context...

In this particular case, there was nothing to do on your side, that's why 
Adrian reassigned
the bug, meaning "not really an issue for you".

In the general case, however, a build failure due to a build-dependency which 
may not
be installed might indicate that the build-dependency is obsolete, in which 
case the
maintainer should decide what to do.

For example, if the purpose of the build-dependency was to add an optional 
feature,
we would have to live without such feature by removing the build-dependency.
If there is another package which may act as a drop-in for the obsolete 
build-dependency,
we would switch to the new package, etc. In short, there is not a fixed recipe 
for what to do.

Thanks.
