This is (or was) not the case, buildds often have other things installed on them other than build-essential. I have been bitten by this in the past. Also, I have a build failure from the arm buildd on Aug 21 (kdebase) that smells like it, it couldn't install libcupsys2-dev which I bet is caused by gnome related packages being installed on the buildd (#203059). Also, I have been told before buildds in general have various other packages installed to save on install time, however I don't know if this is actually true. Chris Cheney
