Quoth the man page:
--build-dep-resolver=resolver
… The aptitude resolver is very similar, but smarter and
slower, and it will consider all alternatives by default; it
is suited to more complex situations, such as building
packages for the experimental distribution, where packages
need installing from multiple suites (unstable and
experimental). …
--resolve-alternatives
Allow the use of alternatives in Build-Depends,
Build-Depends-Arch and Build-Depends-Indep. This is the
default for the aptitude dependency resolver.
so there shouldn't be a need to use --resolve-alternatives with
--build-dep-resolver=aptitude.
The python-tornado backport didn't even make it to the buildd, so the
issue you're seeing is probably related to wanna-build.
