I'd like to update everyone on the BuildDependsOnly issue.

In fink 0.20.3, we implemented the writing of the BuildDependsOnly field
into the .deb file, and a new validation check which tests for the
presence of /sw/include in a .deb file, and expects to find BuildDependsOnly
to be true whenever /sw/include is present.

One implication of this change (just added to the packaging docs), is that
from this point forward, if you change the value of the BuildDependsOnly
field you must increase the revision number.  This is because the .deb
will change.

I plan to enforce the new validation check in the stable tree before
releasing 0.7.1.  In practice, this means that I will be adding
"BuildDependsOnly = True" and increasing the revision number for
packages when that is appropriate.
