I'm sorry, but I think the opposite will be the case, this will cause *more*
confusion: what are "installed transitive build depends" vs "actual transitive
build depends"?
I know that *you* have grasped the concept of transitive build depends very
well, but I'm pretty sure that 97% of the DD population have no idea what
transitive build depends are, especially compared to build-depends or
alternative build-depends. And even 70% were too many.
(AFAIK transitive build-depends are all possible build depends, so if a
package build depends on python2 || python3 both python versions will be part
of the transitive build depends. (Is that even correct?)
Also see $(torsocks dict transitive) - what does this word even mean? ;-)
cheers,
Holger
