Does it have to be either or? Couldn't we mixed seed? i.e. have most of our stuff in main, and when necessary demote/keep packages in universe to accommodate the build dep issue highlighted FWIW, having to compromise on available features because a build dep was not worth getting it into main (or simply does not qualify for legal reasons) always annoyed me.
