Great!

The tool you're looking for is mk-build-deps from the devscripts package, I'm not sure about how it handles multiarch, though. I'll have a look into it. I think pbuilder comes with a similar script, but again, I'm not sure it handles multiarch correctly. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
