Incidentally, one potential problem I forgot is that if you already have those installed for some reason, the command I gave above will remove them. I can patch aptitude to add a ":" suffix that causes all actions on a package to be cancelled (like pressing ":" in visual mode) if that would be preferable. It depends on whether you expect people to possibly install development stuff prior to this step.
