Public bug reported:

Installing the cross- build-deps for grep currently fails.

From: http://people.linaro.org/~wookey/buildd/quantal/sbuild-
ma/grep_2.12-2-quantal-ma-cross-armhf-20120822-031218.4977.log

Cross-deps: Running apt-get -aarmhf build-dep grep
Reading package lists...
Building dependency tree...
Reading state information...
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 debhelper : Depends: po-debconf but it is not going to be installed
E: Build-dependencies for grep could not be satisfied.

That is actually because po-debconf and grep both depend on gettext
which is MA: allowed in ubuntu so defaults to the host-arch (armhf).

Adding :any to the gettext build-dep to indicate that the build-arch
version is actually fine fixes this.

patch attached
