Have you talked to the dpkg developers about this? There is at least dpkg-checkbuilddeps which checks build dependencies, and I think dpkg also does build-time dependency handling in some other tools. And as dpkg is one level lower than APT, I think they should be asked first before doing something like this. -- Julian Andres Klode - Debian Developer, Ubuntu Member See http://wiki.debian.org/JulianAndresKlode and http://jak-linux.org/.
