And even those are probably options which, if enabled, require less build dependencies than for a full build rather than more. Once build profiles arrive in stable, it will be possible to add <!profile.nocheck> to build dependencies which are not needed when specifying DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck. > >My naive assumption was that the Build-Depends line contains a list of > >binary packages needed to build the package.
