At the time, I only patched the code that deals with dependencies as it was suggested that OR-ed build-depends on obsolete packages were generally pointless due to the way sbuild interprets them (see #486145). Backporting is one case where they do make sense however. It's a fairly simple change to add support for OR-ed build-deps; I'll do so in the next couple of days unless there are any objections.
