This is actually serious as stock sbuild fails horribly to build this:

Checking for already installed source dependencies...
debhelper: missing
Using default version 8.0.0
texi2html: missing
texinfo: missing
automaken: missing
cdbs: missing
Checking for source dependency conflicts...
E: Package 'automaken' has no installation candidate
automaken is a virtual package provided by:
Using  (no default, using first one)
Use of uninitialized value in join or string at /usr/share/perl5/Sbuild/Chroot.pm line 339.
Use of uninitialized value in join or string at /usr/share/perl5/Sbuild/Chroot.pm line 340.
Use of uninitialized value in join or string at /usr/share/perl5/Sbuild/Chroot.pm line 341.
Use of uninitialized value $command in join or string at /usr/share/perl5/Sbuild/Chroot.pm line 353.
Use of uninitialized value in exec at /usr/share/perl5/Sbuild/Chroot.pm line 354.
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::out_of_range'
  what():  basic_string::compare

sbuild used to have some support for dependencies on virtual packages, but this
implies telling it which real package to choose.  Please add a dependency on a
real package as the first option in an alternative specification.

Kind regards,
Philipp Kern
