Solutions: Either one allows gettext-dev to Depend on libiconv-dev (but this not only violates policy but may also break bootstrapping, because gettext-dev might be needed before libiconv is built), or all packages that are susceptible to be hit
That is never a solution and c an not be. Things are builddpeendsonly for a reason, in this case to support gettext 2 in the future.
by this problem (and this is hard to detect and concerns potentially many packages) would need a BuildDepends on both gettext-dev and libiconv-dev.
Yes, that is the answer. Any packages which don't should be fixed. Feel free to add them to any packages which need it.
I am dreaming of a mechanism that would remove a BuilDependsOnly package immediately after it is used. This would not only solve this problem, but also come in handy in other situations (it would help with the freetype2 mess, for example).
That is planned.
