Build-depend on the library that your package uses directly. Do not attempt to second-guess the library package's maintainer about the dependencies of that library; they are specified by the package. In this case, you should build-depend on libc-client2002, and not the Kerberos or SSL libraries (unless your package also uses those directly, in an unrelated context). -- - mdz
