Build dependencies and the alpha autobuilder

Hi,

I'm currently maintaining zeroc-ice packages and noticed that
http://buildd.debian.org/zeroc-ice
reports that some architectures are waiting for mysterious build
dependencies.

The alpha autobuilder is waiting for default-jdk-builddep which is
a Build-Depends-Indep, not needed for building binary-arch. I know
the current Policy is not clear about this but most other autobuilders
seem to agree on
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2008/08/msg00447.html

Is there anything I can do to get it compiled in alpha?

Regards,
F. Moya

Dep-waits in wanna-build are "sticky": if the package was once a build-dep
and the package went to dep-wait, and then you upload another version of the
package without the build-dep, someone has to clear the dep-wait by hand.

I've done this now for alpha, armel and hppa.

Cheers,
