Good catch, but the patch won't work this way:

sbuild (in its default configuration as used) on the buildds only
takes the first alternative build dependency into account and ignores
the rest.

So this should be either
    iputils-ping [linux-any], inetutils-ping [!linux-any]
or just
    inetutils-ping
(which exists on all linux architecturs plus kfreebsd plus hurd)

And the even simpler solution would be to drop the build dependency
on iputils-ping, at least in my amd64/sid cowbuilder chroot the
package builds fine without it.

Cheers,
gregor
