That's not true. CDBS don't add build-essential to Build-Depends. (Maybe you can tell CDBS to mangle Build-Depends, but I even don't know how to do it :-). f.e. libgnome (cdbs based package): Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 4.0.0), libxml2-dev (>= 2.4.22), libbz2-dev, libgnomevfs2-dev (>= 2.7.91-3), libbonobo2-dev (>= 2.6.0-2), libpopt-dev, libxslt1-dev (>= 1.1.2), zlib1g-dev, intltool, libgconf2-dev (>= 2.7.92), liborbit2-dev (>= 1:2.10.2-1.1), libesd0-dev, libglib2.0-dev (>= 2.4.1-2), cdbs, gnome-pkg-tools Ondrej/ -- Ondrej Sury <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
