Reviewing this bug, I agree that it shouldn't be a build dependency. debuild is only used in one part of auto-apt. I therefore think it should rather be a Recommends than a Depends. And since debuild is only used in one specific option of auto-apt, I don't think the bug should be RC. Still, I've uploaded an NMU to delayed/10 to address the bug. The 10 days should be enough time to change our mind if either of you do not agree with this assessment. bye, Thijs
