Bug Description

PackageDatabase.get_dependencies() returns a set() right now. All members of the set are then added to the build-dependencies list. This is actually harmful as it means that for e.g. libGL.so.1 we get libgl1-mesa-glx and libgl1-mesa-swx11 which conflict. Instead we either need to check for those conflicts or just pick a single lib based on a "score" function that checks for stuff like "in man", "native arch", "number of rdependencies", "in our overrides file".

My gut feeling for this bug is that there are just a handful of these packages (libgl1-mesa-glx, libasound2) so creating a overrides mechanism for now sounds like a reasonable approach, if its too many we need something more clever instead.

summary: - needs "score" for build-dependencies returned via get_dependencies()

This is fixed now using the simple configuration file approach - this may needs re-evaluation once we gather more data.
