Thanks. Will sponsor it (see below).

Ok, that means there must be another package which causes this.

Exactly that's why I think it's probably not a good idea.

I'll dig deeper and let you.
But that also means that your upload at
http://mentors.debian.net/package/cdist will not fix this bug since
the bug is about a missing Build-Conflicts, not about the
uninstallability. The latter was just context on how I stumbled upon
that bug. #837312 is the actual uninstallability bug (which IMHO has
been prematurely closed by Mattia, because it won't work as BinNMU).
So please either drop the "(Closes: #837311)" from the changelog
completely or change it to "(Closes: #837312)".
Regards, Axel
