There is nothing wrong *in principle* with build-depending on a virtual
package.  Lots of build-deps are virtual packages and this works fine.

This appears to be the real problem -- a build-dependency on libsnmp-dev is
satisfied by packages which apparently can't be used for building cheops,
which makes this a wrong build-dependency in this case.
