pbuilder depends on gcc, so it pulls in a compiler on a system, where I don't
want to have a compiler for everybody. But why does it depend on gcc? There
is no gcc dependency for (c)debootstrap like stated in the changelog entry for
0.10. Further the gcc dependency had been removed in version 0.187. There is
no information about why it has been re-added nor when? Can this dependency
please be dropped (fortunately already for squeeze) or downgraded?
Regards, Daniel

The gcc dependency only exists in Lenny. Sorry that I missed it. Squeeze
won't ship this dependency. Closing myself.
