Hi Junichi,

 I think the current logic of satisfydepends is to:
 try installing a build-dep
   if it succeeds, check for build-conflicts
   else (if it fails) check whether it would be Provided

 What about reversing the logic to look for Provides first?  I think
 this would address this particular bug.

 I agree it would be best to use some higher level language to transform
 build-deps in a list of packages + versions to install via APT, but
 this seems to be a longer lived problem to solve.

   Bye,
