The workaround for now is to edit debian/control of the package we are
building and dropping g++ dep completely

Title:
  Explicit g++ 4.9 dependency breaks cross-building

Status in Mir:
  In Progress
Status in “mir” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “qtmir” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “unity8” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  With the new explicit g++ 4.9 dependency apt falls over when trying to
  install cross-dependencies for e.g. Mir:

  The following packages have unmet dependencies:
   g++-4.9:armhf : Depends: gcc-4.9:armhf (= 4.9.1-4ubuntu3) but it is not going to be installed
  E: Build-dependencies for sbuild-build-depends-mir-dummy could not be satisfied.

  This means cross-building doesn't work for any packages that have that
  dependency added. We were told it's going to be fine due to 4.9
  becoming default, but it is now, and the situation remains.
