As Arno hinted at, it's to have reliable builds. A transient inability to install the first arm of an alternation should caused a dep-wait state, not building with the alternate Build-Depends. Now, backports are a different story because they use a different resolver which will pull in alternates. Cheers, -- James GPG Key: 4096R/91BF BF4D 6956 BD5D F7B7 2D23 DFE6 91AE 331B A3DB
