guile-2.0 Build-Depends on libreadline6-dev. That package is purely
virtual and provided by libreadline-dev, which is built from readline
(at version 7). During architecture bootstrap, we would like to
automatically determine which packages need to be built. However, the
currently available metadata lacks mechanisms to predict purely virtual
packages. Thus it is not possible to mechanically determine which source
package makes libreadline6-dev available. Please move that dependency
over to the real package libreadline-dev. Sounds like a trivial change,
but it removes the need for manual fiddling here. Patch:

sed -i -e s/libreadline6-dev/libreadline-dev/ debian/control
