Package: devscripts
Version: 2.10.55
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/bin/mk-build-deps

I usually select packages using 'aptitude --schedule-only <actions>' and
have cron.daily download the files using 'aptitude -d -y install' (so
that the download happens during the night when bandwidth is cheap).  It
would be nice if mk-build-deps would play nicely with this by allowing
us to pass options to the tools specified with the '-t' option.

For now, I think I can use 'at' to schedule the build and install; the
limitation of this is that I won't see the pending install when running
aptitude interactively.

Other flags that may be useful include '-s' and '-q' (for both apt-get
and aptitude).
