This is true. debian/control cannot express the difference between dependencies needed to build the source package and those needed to build the binary packages. The real fix I think would be in the format of debian/control to handle these (admittedly few, but always annoying) cases. In the meantime, build-from-branch needs a workaround for that case. -Barry
