Pbuilder is useless here. Buildds always use the first alternative. That's
the reason why the first alternative may never be a virtual (or in this case
a non-existing) package.

The solution in this case is to remove the alternative on
libgeronimo-jms-1.1-spec-java as its not in the archive anyway. Build alternatives
are mostly never really useful.
