Well, not really. apt-src doesn't integrate with apt/dpkg very much. For instance, apt-src --build upgrade doesn't upgrade every package that's out-of-date on your system vs. what's available. Rather, it upgrades all the sources in your apt-src build directory. So if you delete some to save space, you're screwed. Plus you lose apt features like pinning. Moreover, it also doesn't seem to support building of depends and build-deps, but I didn't personally verify that. -- John
