Heh, agreed. That bites me on about every third machine I set up for

packaging system calls the following (and their -dev or -devel packages,

On Debian, there's a handy shortcut: 'apt-get build-dep', which will
install the build dependencies for any given source package. So 'apt-get
build-dep python' will get you all set to build Python.
I did not know that one yet, thanks. I tried that on Ubuntu Jaunty. It
returns rather a lot:
$ sudo apt-get build-dep --dry-run python

Somehow I doubt that I need TeX to build python. (La)TeX is wonderful
but there are limits to what it can do. :-) I can imagine it might be
needed for building a .deb package though, so it probably makes sense.
