   Thinking more about this... Changing the base sandbox to be in 
"build-depends" makes more sense, because it's not really logical to claim that 
the x86->arm cross-compiler is a _runtime_ dependency of an aarch64 zlib.so
   
   I could pass `--build` to `bst shell`, but that argument actually does more 
than what your docs state.  Without it by default, it stages everything as if 
you're looking at the sandbox after `bst build` completes, so the artifact 
results of that build are also placed in the final locations.  And with 
`--build`, it's like it's just before `bst build` runs commands.
   
   So if the sandbox is in the "build-depends", what is the intended use-case 
for `bst shell` without the `--build` option?
