[Bug 2024885] [NEW] Doesn't install crossbuild-essential-$arch unless the test depends on build-essential

 

Public bug reported:

We have a delta on our libinih package due to that issue. It was
discussed on https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2021/02/25/%23ubuntu-
devel.html#t20:26

I don't know if that's still an actual problem but I'm at least
reporting a bug to document the workaround delta we carry in the
package.
