* apt-get build-dep, when trying to skip over the remaining elements of
an or-expression, would accidentally inherit the version requirements of a
later item in the or-expression.  Fixed it.
* Let apt-get build-dep try alternatives if the first dependency in an
or-expression is not available
* Add a Debug::BuildDeps to generate some trace output
* Help apt-get build-dep produce more useful error messages
* Process build-dependencies in forward rather than reverse order
* Error out if an installed package is too new for a << or <=
build-dependency

+  * apt-get build-dep should now be able to handle almost any package with
+    correct build-depends.  The primary exception is build-dependencies on
+    virtual packages with more than one provider, and these are
+    discouraged for automated processing (but still common,
+    unfortunately).
