Hello,

If I try to build a package on Jessie using sbuild that has
"python-pep8 | pep8" in the build depends, it gives me the
following error:

--- cut ---
Installing build dependencies
Reading package lists...
Building dependency tree...
Reading state information...
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 sbuild-build-depends-shortuuid-dummy : Depends: python-pep8 but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
apt-get failed.
E: Package installation failed
Not removing build depends: cloned chroot in use
--- cut ---

Why isn't it falling back to installing pep8 when python-pep8 is not
available? Isn't this the expected behaviour? Or have I got something
wrong?

Regards
