Bug#679433: boinc-app-seti: FTBFS: build depends on unavailable libboinc-app-dev

Source: boinc-app-seti
Version: 6.12~svn1306-1
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)

Automatic builds of boinc-app-seti are failing because it declares a
build dependency on libboinc-app-dev, which is completely unavailable
AFAICT.  (I don't even see it in NEW or experimental.)  Listing
boinc-dev as an alternative doesn't help, because Debian's
autobuilders are generally configured to ignore alternative build
dependencies for the sake of consistency.  (They consider them only
when explicit architecture tags rule out preferred alternatives.)

Could you please adjust boinc-app-seti's build dependencies to leave
off libboinc-app-dev, or at least favor boinc-dev?

Thanks!
