nope, apt-get build-dep is still broken and should not be used. See
https://bugs.debian.org/812173

This means that to reliably build packages, we can only switch sbuild to
apt-get build-dep once a future apt version with the fix for above bug is in
old-old-stable.

I'm writing this mail to the list so that this information doesn't get lost.

Thanks!
