[Buildd-tools-devel] Bug#403246: should this bug be reassigned to the policy?

[Piotr Ożarowski]

Hi,

I was told to reassign this bug to policy asking to forbid alternate
build dependencies. Although I agree that alt. b. dep. are evil most of
the times, I still think they're quite useful in few cases (see #471617)
so I will not do this. Please feel free to reassign it there and I will
forget about (mentioned in #471617) Debian Python policy's spirit and
update all my packages that suffer from this bug.

If you think this bug should be fixed anyway (I don't see "wontfix" tag),
please tell me, I will learn perl and fix it for you.
