If you do this, dependencies will be consistent, but not equal to those in the outside world. basically, there are 3 kinds of dependencies : - build-dependencies : these aren't really a problem here - dynamically-made library dependencies : whatever was needed by the package just after building - explicitely mentionned dependencies. Of these, only the dynamically-made library dependencies will be different for your locally-built package, (they may be different for a locally-built package of the same distribution as well), but they should be _correct_. If they aren't, it is a bug in the source package.
