** Description changed:

  When trying to cross-build Mir with sbuild version >= 0.68.0, the build
  fails with:
  
  sbuild-build-depends-mir-dummy:armhf : Depends: cmake-data:armhf but it is 
not installable
-                                        Depends: abi-compliance-checker:armhf 
but it is not installable
+                                        Depends: abi-compliance-checker:armhf 
but it is not installable
  
  This is caused by a change ([1]) in the way sbuild installs build-deps
  for the package under build. Previously sbuild used the 'apt-get build-
  dep' command, but recent versions calculate the build-deps manually
  (using the Dpkg perl module) and install the -dummy package instead.
  
  This change isn't a problem in and of itself, but unfortunately uncovers
  a problem in the cmake-data and abi-compliance-checker packages. In
  particular, the two packages are not multi-arch ready and sbuild can't
- know that it needs to install their native/build (amd64) version, using
- the host (armhf) version instead.
+ know that it needs to install their native/build (amd64) version, so it
+ uses the host (armhf) version instead.
  
  The previous 'apt-get build-dep' way worked because APT is patched in
  ubuntu (but not in debian) to consider packages with architecture 'all'
  as 'Multi-Arch: foreign' ([1],[2]). The Dpkg perl modules don't contain
  such a patch.
