Yep. The parser handles build-depends. And the GUI doesn't allow you to say 'get the build-depends'. I agree that setup not download the build depends unless requested. And even if it's not requested, having the build depends is, and always should be optional. Rob -- GPG key available at: <http://members.aardvark.net.au/lifeless/keys.txt>.
