So what? You don't need g++ for a simple hello world package in C, however g++ is build-essential. You don't even need gcc for a simple package containing data files. Following your line of reasoning, only make and dpkg-dev should be build-essential. > Don't confuse build-essential with build-popular. Why? -- .''`.
