Hi Manoj,

In your 4.1-5 upload, you added libbsd-resource-perl to Build-Depends.
Unfortunately, this package is not available during architecture
bootstrap for the host architecture when we need to build make-dfsg.
Looking closer one can see that libbsd-resource-perl is only used for
running tests. During cross building we generally inhibit running tests
via DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck. This works well for make-dfsg as well
(thanks). So we actually do not need the libbsd-resource-perl dependency
there. I therefore suggest annotating it with the <!nocheck> profile and
attach a patch for your convenience.
