IMO 'cause it checks only package builddep list against the current system. He asked for a general way of finding out that list. That's not a general way is the right answer. Use a _sid_ chroot (or pbuilder) with build-essential installed and discover the other ones by a try-and-fail approach. Apt-file could also be useful for this. -- Francesco P.
