Good idea. For porter uploads, some people (including me) use cowbuilder, which uses aptitude, a “classic” hand-grown algorithm, or (in very recent distributions) apt for dependency resolution, and thus does consider alternative dependencies. Others use sbuild, which may or may not, as the buildds also use sbuild. Not exactly a buildd, but for completeness sake… bye, //mirabilos -- «MyISAM tables -will- get corrupted eventually.
