Well you'll also find that "apt-get install top" and "dpkg -l top" don't
work either, for the reason that "top" is not a Debian package!
Try "dpkg -S `which top`", which will tell you that

Well, not to follow up to my own post but ... something as simple as
apt-build install top doesnt work.
I guess I have no idea what I'm going to use apt-build for - or maybe

OK :-)
I have played with it a bit and find it will not download things like
openoffice.org or gnome-core
Maybe Im mis-understanding the configuration or the intent of apt-build?
I know openoffice.org is a source package available via apt-get
source|build-dep etc...

s? Like an
instant upgrade from regular i386 packages to processor-optimized
packages? I'm guessing that would be the step that comes after the
