Since we dynamic link everything - except for the Qt in our
opera-static package - we simply use the dependency mechanisms in the
Debian package system to ensure the presence of the libraries on which
we depend, all of which are present in standard debian packages
already. So I don't think there's anything that fits your description
above. Again, if you believe otherwise, I'd be interested to know.

Again, all the tools we use in development are present in Debian
already. In fact, in practice, the Unix team would not think of using
any tool *not* in Debian, simply because most of us use Debian boxes
as our main work-stations ;^)
