See eg https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html

We have other big fish to fry.  Eg many packages have LinkingTo: BH (as Boost
headers are indeed awesome) but this 120 mb (!!) payload is needed _once_
during package compilation / installation and never again afterwards.  So
Build-Depends: would be a nice addition too.
