  Of course not, read Policy. What is saying is, "this package needs
  l-k-h to build, _unless_ we're on hurd-i386, netbsd-i386, or
  kfreebsd-i386; in that case, it's ok that l-k-h is not present".

  No, it does not (rock). And, fortunately, it's going to die. If you're
  curious what's going to replace it, check Guillem Jover's patch in
  #291939 (last message in the bug).

  When/if it gets implemented, you'll be able to:

    Build-Depends: libasound2-dev [linux-any]
    Build-Depends: firebird2-dev  [any-i386]

  Cheers,

it took seven others to beat him!
