And adding Build-Depends(-Indep|-Arch) to a random binary of the source would have its own issues - notably, a binary is not required to be co-installable with its source's build-depends. It is not that it is impossible, it is just a question of spoons, time and test cases. If you have any trivial test cases, please by all means begin to collect/commit them (it makes life so much easier later). Thanks, ~Niels
