Not exactly answering your question... The debian dependencies can be fairly 'conservative' which means all kinds of stuff is pulled in 'just-in-case' eg Ive seen aptitude build-dep pull in a ridiculous amount of doc-stuff like latex (whose size is of the order of GBs) probably because some document format may require it. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
