If you check out the current sbuild from

  git://git.debian.org/git/sbuild

this now has support for the old style "internal" dependency
resolver (moved from lib/Sbuild/Build.pm to
lib/Sbuild/InternalBuildDepSatisfier.pm) and an alternative
resolver which uses aptitude.

Your patch should ideally be against the internal resolver,
though I would appreciate your feedback on whether the
new aptitude resolver works correctly for you.

WRT your comments about unnecessary whitespace changes, that's
not a problem.  If reorganising the code is going to give a
cleaner patch, then please do so.  The main concern patching
the internal resolver is not to alter the existing code such
that it behaves differently when working with a single
distribution which could cause packages to FTBFS.


Regards,
Roger
