I implemented this exception to a package's conflicts in dose3 and
attached the patch. I therefor also sent this email to Pietro Abate.

I also sent it to bug#685171 because it fixes the regression introduced
by a fix for it.

Dose3 behaviour for cross compilation (which often requires
co-installation of linux-libc-dev) is now again the same as apt.

Thanks for your clarifications!

cheers, josch
