not directly relevant since the correct solution is to stop installing
equivs, but many companies forbid installing gcc on servers. (And no,
I’m not running testing on servers.)
If you don't have gcc installed, then you don't have build-essential
installed. So why do you care about installing debhelper?
equivs depends on debhelper — before this change, installing equivs
didn't pull in autotools and gcc, now it does. alien is another
reverse-dependency of debhelper which wouldn't normally require
autotools and gcc; likewise customdeb, ecaccess (I'm not sure why, given
its description I wouldn't expect it to...) and environment-modules
(likewise).
