rsyslog fails to cross-build

[Wookey]

rsyslog fails to cross-build due to xdeb depenedency-installation issue in --only-explicit mode:

Considering source package rsyslog
sudo apt-get -y --allow-unauthenticated -o Dir::State::Lists=/home/wookey/testing/build/build/xdeb/lists.apt -o Dir::Cache::pkgcache=/home/wookey/testing/build/build/xdeb/pkgcache.bin -o Dir::Cache::srcpkgcache=/home/wookey/testing/build/build/xdeb/srcpkgcache.bin -o Dir::Etc::sourcelist=/home/wookey/testing/build/build/xdeb/sources.list --no-install-recommends install libgnutls-dev-armel-cross libkrb5-dev-armel-cross libmysqlclient-dev-armel-cross libpq-dev-armel-cross librelp-dev-armel-cross zlib1g-dev-armel-cross

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libpq-dev-armel-cross : Depends: libpq5-armel-cross (= 8.4.8-0ubuntu0.11.04) but it is not going to be installed
                         Depends: comerr-dev-armel-cross but it is not installable

Background:
The build command is:
xdeb --only-explicit -a armel --prefer-apt --apt-source --debug --force-rebuild rsyslog

The actual build command xdeb issues is:
debuild --no-lintian -eUSER -eCONFIG_SITE=/etc/dpkg-cross/cross-config.armel -eDEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck -eGTEST_INCLUDEDIR=/usr/arm-linux-gnueabi/include -eGTEST_LIBDIR=/usr/arm-linux-gnueabi/lib -ePKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=/usr/arm-linux-gnueabi/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/arm-linux-gnueabi/share/pkgconfig:/usr/share/pkgconfig -eDH_VERBOSE=1 -aarmel -b -uc -us -tc

Would you please try this against oneiric or precise? the other reports didn't seem to be relevant for latest Ubuntu release, so I'm relatively hopeful that this one could go away too
