Package: apt-build
Version: 0.12.17
Severity: wishlist

During an "apt-build upgrade", some packages such as gcc, g++, glibc, etc. was 
recompiled since new versions were available.
However, these packages take very long time (more than 19h for me :() to be 
compiled and are adviced to be exclude for the "apt-build 
world" process (in the 
apt-build's article).

I think it can be useful to except critical packages and packages we don't want 
to be compiled.

Of course, we can choose to apt-get upgrade this package before running 
apt-build, but this feature will be nice ;)

Thanks to you for apt-build,
KnuX.
