Hi Antonio,

Whoops - now I read the bug title properly, I see my mistake. I was
trying in a Jessie chroot, but not a Jessie "i386" chroot. Sorry about
that, and the misleading information as a result.

So, this time I tested the build as the repository was yesterday
(without pulling your updates) in a jessie "i386" chroot . And the build
fails as Lucas found.

After pulling your changes, I can confirm that the build succeeds!

Thanks for the fast fix Antonio.

Before you go for the upload though, lintian complained that the
"Closes" part of the d/changelog was missing a colon.

Regards,

Ross
