Hello Raphael,

thank you for replying.

That's what Build-Depends are for: there you specify the name of the

i can understand that Build-Depends are considered when a package is built from source using dpkg.

However, if you get the source and do

configure && make

i don't see how Build-Depends could be considered.

My idea is to add a little something in the configure script so as to make a few suggestions when files that we check for are missing. Is this silly/pointless?
