What's the error message you're getting? I still think _this_ bug is that "=*=PROVIDED=*=" sorts after just about every version number instead of before them. As the log in the initial report says, sbuild thought the provided libtest-harness-perl satisfied the versioned dependency while dpkg-checkbuilddeps didn't (and rightly so, see policy 7.4).
