-----------------------+--------------------------------
sbuild 0.63.0-1 (in git, unreleased) drops the 'internal' dependency
resolver, which we've been using for a while, and has various limitations
including the lack of handling or-gates in build-dependency lines
(necessitating a few metapackages only used internally as build
dependencies). The 'apt' and 'aptitude' resolvers create dummy packages
with the Build-Depends line as the Depends line, and attempt to install
that, providing more flexible build-dependency handling. In theory there
should be no regressions, but it would be good to check that.
