The following extra packages will be installed: bsdmainutils defoma esound-common file fontconfig fontconfig-config gettext-base groff-base html2text intltool-debian liba52-0.7.4 libart-2.0-2 libart-2.0-dev libatk1.0-0 libatk1.0-dev libaudiofile-dev libaudiofile0 libavahi-client3 libavahi-common-data libavahi-common3 libcairo2 libcairo2-dev libcroco3 libcups2 libdatrie1 libdb4.5 libdb4.8 libdbus-1-3 libdirectfb-1.2-0 libdirectfb-dev libdirectfb-extra libdrm2 libesd0 libexpat1 libexpat1-dev ... ^^^ ^^^ That's from the buildd log. So I assume it's getting dragged in by some other build-dep already. I'm not sure offhand which one that is though, possibly libgl1-mesa or python? Looking at libexpat1's rdeps there may be more than one level of indirection responsible for that. It does seem sane that we should make this an explicit build dep, and also _force_ the use of system expat. Right now it's doing it opportunistically (though we do force most of the other external deps that way already), but that would be a problem if some arch didn't have expat or didn't drag it in indirectly like this...
