Oh, I'm sorry, this is probably just a sequence of misunderstandings. I think I misunderstood your message as being somewhat opposed, and then I think you read my "disagree" as stronger than I meant it. All I was trying to say is that I think (based on my very sketchy understanding of build profiles) that this would have a lower bar of entry for building non-Debian packages as a stepping stone to proper Debian packages than pre-downloading the dependencies. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <https://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
