My understanding is that when build-depend'ing on a virtual package it is a 
good idea to first specify an alternative. This way of indicating what the 
package was built with and also provides a hint to tools which might otherwise 
be confused by the virtual package. Ryan Murray explains that the buildd 
software knows how to deal with this, I'm not sure if apt-get build-dep does 
(apt-get install doesn't at least).

I will close this bug.
