Well, techincally they're different issues: you can fix #530345 just by
doing a sourceful upload with no changes, but source changes are needed
to fix #531219. But it seems you're interested in fixing #531219 already,
which is excellent. :-)

Well. The problem is that bitlbee-dev is an arch:all package. So, when
you want strict dependencies among binaries from a same source package,
you use:

    arch:any Depends arch:any => ${binary:Version}
    arch:any Depends arch:all => ${source:Version}
    arch:all Depends arch:all => ${source:Version}
    arch:all Depends arch:any => not possible*

So with "not possible" I mean that you need, normally:

    Depends: foo (>= ${source:Version}), foo (<< ${source:Version}.)

or something similar.

HTH,
