Severity: wishlist

Hi,
        Recently aptitude gained the ability to automaticall install the 
dependencies 
need to build a package from source.  "aptitude build-deps <package>"  Thank 
you very much!
        Next it would be nice to easily uninstall the build-deps.  This could 
be done 
by having a dummy package created upon running "aptitude build-deps 
<package>" which depended on all of these build-deps, then install this dummy 
package.  All the build-deps would marked as automatically installed and 
uninstalling the dummy package would uninstall the build-deps other packages 
do not depend on.

Thanks again,
        C.
