Public bug reported:

Consider the case of libio-socket-ip-perl in quantal as of this writing.
It has a dependency like "libsocket-perl (>= 1.97) | perl (>= 5.15.6)".
libsocket-perl's current version is 2.002-1 (which is fine).  Perl's
current version is 5.14.2-12 (which does not satisfy the check).

So sbuild correctly reports:

libsocket-perl: missing
perl: non-matching version installed (5.14.2-12 ! >= 5.15.6)

And then does not try to install libsocket-perl.  Which I think is a
clear bug?  The build fails because it is dep waiting on libsocket-perl,
despite it actually being available.

It seems that sbuild's dependency checker stops if part of an or-clause
is already installed, regardless of whether it actually satisfies the
requirements.  I'd argue it should take that into account and attempt to
install another part of the or-clause.
