No, I think that now that equivs always uses dpkg-buildpackage instead of manually invoking debian/rules it *must* depend on build-essential because unless you tell dpkg-buildpackage to skip checking build dependencies, the build-essential packages is required due to its call to dpkg-checkbuilddeps. So as a workaround you could either: - install packages with recommends enabled (this will install build-essential because dpkg-dev recommends it) - or install build-essential manually But the long-term solution is probably to add build-essential to the Depends of equivs.
