Checking reverse dependencies...

Dependency problem found.

The problem isn't the contrib isn't autobuilt (AFAIK, that's not correct), but 
that's it's build-depends are broken on many archs [1].

I think the first thing to try is to see what the issues with the build-
dependencies are.  Removing packages shouldn't be first.
