[#] While ``Build-Depends``, ``Build-Depends-Indep`` and I'm not really keen on use of 'abused' as I think it's too aggressive. I've also realised that "solely for purposes other than satisfying" is actually doing some work here -- it's okay to add Built-Using for other purposes so long as you are *also* using it to satisfy licensing requirements. Not sure your proposal captures that. Any other ideas for better phrasing? -- Sean Whitton
