Package: xapian-core
Version: 1.0.4-1
Severity: minor

Building xapian-core requires a C++ compiler, but Build-Depends lacks
c++-compiler.

When trying to build the package, the output ends with:

 checking whether to build static libraries... yes
 configure: creating libtool
 appending configuration tag "CXX" to libtool
 checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no
 checking whether we are using the GNU C++ compiler... (cached) no
 checking whether g++ accepts -g... (cached) no
 checking dependency style of g++... (cached) none
 checking whether g++ is a working C++ compiler... no
 configure: error:
 *** You need a working C++ compiler to compile Xapian, but configure failed to
 *** find one.  If you have a working C++ compiler, you can tell configure where
 *** to find it by invoking it like so:
 ***
 ***   ./configure CXX=/opt/bin/c++

 make: *** [configure-stamp] Error 1
 debuild: fatal error at line 1237:
 debian/rules build failed

When there is no c++ compiler installed.

I guess the change is something as trivial as:
