The reason that I started trying to enforce BuildDependsOnly is to try to
get our automatic Shared Libraries system (the shlibs project) working.

Any package containing headers and un-numbered dylib files should be labeled
BuildDependsOnly: True.  As a consequence, you can't put any files into
that package which are needed at runtime by any other package.  If other
things need the i18n files at buildtime, there is no problem.

My next step in trying to enforce this will be to add a check to the
validator for .deb files which, whenever you have something in /sw/include,
checks to make sure that you have set BuildDependsOnly.  It will warn you
if not.
