It seems that just depending on libsvga1-dev was not such a good idea after all, because libsvga1-dev only exists for i386 and amd64 architectures. I now face the problem that my package winff FTBFS on other architectures where it previously build without problems, see powerpc and sparc at [1].
I would say that the depends need to be changed, one way or another. I don't know this package, but I would say that only the svga1 wrapper unit (or what is its name) depends on libsvga1-dev, but if you are not using that unit, you don't need to depend on it. So could we split of that wrapper and give it a package of its own (much impact for how much gain?). Or drop the dependency to recommends? Or can dependencies be specific in the architecture? Or...
