OK, I've moved all the necessary stuff over to a lenny box, and confirm
that it works with lenny pbuilder with standard pbuilder-satisfydepends
and with pbuilder-satisfydepends-experimental.

Amusingly enough the "build a dummy package and let aptitude sort it  
out"
approach is exactly what I was thinking of as a solution to a similar
problem the day before. Now I get to point at pbuilder-satisfydepends as
an example solution for the other problem - thanks!  :-)


Cheers,


Nick
