d-i embeds a large number of its build dependencies in images. Around 20
packages, with complex arch specifiers.

There needs to be a declarative way to flag a build dependency as such,
and have it automatically put into build-using. Any attempt to script
this is going to result in a mess, busywork, and inconsistency.
