Understood, but out of my hands; it appears to be a CDBS issue.

The last version of the default static debian/control I shipped was
correct; however, it doesn't change anything: my sponsor has to build
this package, at which point CDBS will overwrite this again.

Doing an NMU on CDBS to fix #311724 might be a more constructive approach
than asking everyone who uses CDBS with debian/control.in to go and fix
their package's static debian/control for absolutely no gain, given how it
will be overwrriten at the next build run.
