I was not aware of that new sort order. 

Looks like wrap-and-sort authors and I followed the same ideas because sorting 
debhelper and dh-sequence fields are sorted first in Build-Depends comes 
naturally with the last modifications of cme dpkg-control model I made.

😩 To think I have added gnarly code to alpha sort of the dependencies to 
respect *old* wrap-and-sort order.

Anyway, I'll fix this.

All the best
