Thanks for pointing that out -- will fix it.
Thinking about it again, I find it strange the it is not possible -- especially as there is no lintian warning or error about it. I first tought about filing a wishlist bug against lintian, but then discovered this bug against sbuild: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=403246 and specifically http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=403246#23 That gives me the impression that the problem could be 'solved' be simply reversing the alternatives to: libqt4-opengl-dev | libqt4-dev (<< 4.4.0) (i.e. reversing the order) I'd be glad if you could comment on that. The reason why I want to keep the alternatives is that users would (remain to) be able to build the package on oldstable -- which is still around. If I could do that, I'd prefer this solution instead of removing the alternative.
