That because of the support for multiple distributions in our debian/.

The general debian/control is replaced with debian/control.sid when building,
but dpkg-buildpackage only checks debian/control for build dependencies.

If the package is build in two steps, first building a source package and then
compiling that (like the nightly builds do using pbuild/cowbuilder), that
problem doesn't arise as the general debian/control is enough to build the
source package and the source package contains the replaced debian/control
version - therefore the dependencies including osgearth are fetched for sid then.

And we can't put osgearth to the generic debian/control as it's not available for
all distributions.
