This was fixed on the master branch in commit d4ff9f8.

I've tested this for sawfish, and it's correctly processing the
alternative texinfo dependency:

Merged Build-Depends: base-files, base-passwd, bash, coreutils, dash, debianutils, diffutils, dpkg, e2fsprogs, findutils, grep, gzip, hostname, ncurses-base, ncurses-bin, perl-base, sed, login, sysvinit-utils, sysvinit, tar, bsdutils, mount, util-linux, libc6-dev | libc-dev, gcc (>= 4:4.4.3), g++ (>= 4:4.4.3), make, dpkg-dev (>= 1.13.5), gettext (>= 0.10.37), debhelper (>= 7.0.0), libxinerama-dev, libesd0-dev, rep-gtk (>= 1:0.90.0), libgmp3-dev (>= 4.1.4-8), texinfo (<< 4.11) | texinfo (>= 4.11.dfsg.1-3), libgtk2.0-dev (>= 2.6), libxrender-dev, libxext-dev, libxt-dev, autotools-dev, automake1.10, quilt (>= 0.40), librep-dev (>= 0.90.0), rep, libtool

Filtered Build-Conflicts: autoconf2.13, automake1.4

As you can see, the alternative
  libc6-dev | libc-dev
is treated as first only (package names don't match), whilst the
alternative
  texinfo (<< 4.11) | texinfo (>= 4.11.dfsg.1-3)
is retained because this is for the same package, and so treated as
a single logical dependency.


This is safe to pick onto the buildd-0.61.0 branch should you wish.

This was, TTMOBK, the one remaining issue blocking the switch from the
internal to apt resolver on the buildds.  Is this the case?  If so,
I believe that with this change in place the buildds can be switched
over to use "apt" by default.

    Sbuild::ResolverBase: Allow alternative dependencies for same package
    
    Currently, when alternative dependencies are not allowed, only the
    first alternative is used.  Here, this rule is relaxed when the
    alternative dependency or dependencies are for the same package name,
    i.e. foo (rel x) | foo (rel y) [ ... foo (rel z) ]
    since while these are separate dependencies, they are in reality a
    single logical dependency.
