I suggest that 'aptitude build-dep' create + install an equivs-package 'build-dep-foo' which depends on the build deps in question. Those build deps can then be marked auto-installed. This would make it very easy to clean up build deps after one has built one's package(s). I suppose it's possible that these equivs packages might annoy someone, in which case this behavior may need to be configurable. Peter
