#311724 cdbs is an example for this madness (B-D) here, maybe others do it too. Quoting from my bug: - Modifying them (B-D) on the fly can mean that they change without you noticing it. This is not bad for the actual built you do, but now think about later builds. Our autobuilders will get the changed Build-Dependencies and then may built a different thing. Or think about NMUs (eg. for RC fixes and stuff) or in worst case even security updates. More in the bug. -- bye Joerg >D.
