Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.21.9
Severity: wishlist
Hello,
thank you for maintaining dpkg!
I often find myself[1] in need of a tool that, given a source package,
prints a list of its build depends, given an architecture, a build
profile, and so on.
dpkg-checkbuilddeps does internally generate it, and then only print the
list of packages not currently installed.
Would it be possible to add a way to print the unfiltered list?
I've made something that does it by chopping away the filtering bits
from dpkg-checkbuilddeps (see attachment).
Ideally, it can become a --print-depends/--print-conflicts option to
dpkg-checkbuilddeps, instead of a separate tool. Unfortunately my
perl-foo is too rusty to pretend I could propose a competent patch :/

[1] and I'm apparently in good company, considering how many times this
is reimplemented in various places in Debian
-- Package-specific info:
This system uses merged-usr-via-aliased-dirs, going behind dpkg's
back, breaking its core assumptions. This can cause silent file
overwrites and disappearances, and its general tools misbehavior.
See <https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Dpkg/FAQ#broken-usrmerge>.
