I tried that approach and it is not really feasible from the results
either. Doing an apt-get build-deps in a chroot on the output
of grep-dctrl -s Source:Package of the installed packages finishes after
7 iterations (modulo some co-installability issues that one can work
around), and the collected list contains 676 source packages, which
need around 2 GB of space to store...
I guess most is due to the same source package building multiple
binaries, thus having more build-dependencies than needed for only
building the core packages...
Hochachtungsvoll,
