Yes, that's the idea.

You could change the apt-get command ran by the Makefile to get rid of
the Dependancies check, but it would not be really clean.

You can to to the "libdebian-installer" and run "dpkg-buildpackage"
(you may need to install the dpkg-dev -from the sarge repository-
package) and you should end with a .deb of libdebian-installer fresh
from your CVS tree.
