Bug#525935: FTBFS because librefblas3-dev does not exist

Package: scilab
Version: 5.1.1-2

Scilab 5.1.1-2 fails to build from source in all architectures
except i386 (uploaded).

debian/control file says scilab 5.1.1-2 build depend on:
> # numerical libraries
>  librefblas3-dev | libblas-dev | atlas3-base-dev, liblapack-dev, 

but for example, build log for amd64 
https://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?pkg=scilab;ver=5.1.1-2;arch=amd64;stamp=1240714985
says: "E: Couldn't find package librefblas3-dev"

I could not find package librefblas3-dev in any distribution.
refblas3-dev and atlas3-base-dev do exist only in etch (oldstable), 
but libblas-dev does exist in squeeze and sid.

Does build system support alternatives in build-depends?
It seems to stop after the first miss in the 3 alternatives, even when
the second one exists.

In architectures hppa and mips there are also other specific problems
in build-depends (java related). In any case, probably build-depends
must be cleaned and updated.

Best regards,
Jose R.
