Robert, yep; I've seen it's only used in the testsuite indeed; problem
is that we actually want to run the testsuite during build, so that the
build-deps need to be there.  There is no concept of "optional build-
deps" because package builds need to be reproducible.

So this build-dep loop needs bootstrapping whenever one is building
sources from scratch, or for backports for instance; it's best when we
can avoid circular build-dep loops.
