Hi, sometime ago we introduces the Built-Using field to reference extra source packages that were used to build a binary package[1]. dak ensures these are in the archive, but doesn't require that they are in any suite (ie. it keeps the files even though they might not be referenced in any Sources index).
[1] <http://bugs.debian.org/641153> I proposed to change this so packages referenced by Built-Using are also referenced by Built-Using[2], but haven't done much for this. It should be a fairly simple change on the dak-side, but more work might be required for britney[3]. [2] <http://bugs.debian.org/657212> [3] <http://bugs.debian.org/661078> However I forgot about CD images. These also need to include the referenced sources so we provide the complete source on them, but currently include only those source packages referenced in Sources. So we should probably work on dak and britney to support including them. An alternative would be an extra index for the additional source packages, but this means we would need to make apt, debmirror, debian-cd and probably others aware of them instead of just dak and britney.
