The implementation on the buildds is:
- if one of the branches of the dependency is already satisfied, the
dependency is satisfied and nothing is done.
- otherwise, install the first package in the list.
So listing older compatible packages as alternative build-deps should be ok,
because they should never be present on the buildds. Listing alternatives
that are still present in unstable (as libtasn1-2-dev) is less ok, since
such a package may be pre-installed in the buildd chroot for whatever reason
and cause a misbuild.
