This is not the case, Jerome, I'm talking about dependencies and not
build-dependencies.

Moreover dependencies of -dev packages are even trickier to track down
because you have to try some software build that use the software to
know that someone is missing ...

BTW, pbuilder currently doesn't work (it fails to build a fresh base.tgz
tarball) in unstable, I've checked 2 or 3 days ago :-(

Cheers.
