pbuilder-satisfydepends-apt: Provide a fallback dependency resolver

Vasyl Gello requested to merge basilgello/pbuilder:satisfydepends-apt into master

... for cross-builds.

This is an attempt to address two issues specific for cross-builds:

  • apt-get treats arch:all build dependencies as arch:native (#666772)
  • apt-get treats reverse provides of virtual packages also as arch:native

This commit implements a fallback resolver guarded by cross-compile condition which does the following:

  1. Obtains the list of direct build dependencies of given package
  2. Iterates over them, checking if it is arch:all or arch:native and adds proper package:arch pair to the list
  3. Virtual packages get processed as a final step: if any of packages providing given virtual package is already in the list, skip this virtual package, otherwise select the first provider candidate.
