Bug#1021342: apt: build-dep without -Arch and -Indep dependencies
Package: apt
Version: 2.5.3
Severity: wishlist
Hi!
apt build-dep currently supports the `--arch-only` and `--indep-only` options
to only install build deps needed to build arch dependent and independent
packages, respectively.
As far as I know though, it isn't currently possible to only ask for the
packages specified in the Build-Depends and Build-Conflicts fields, i.e. only
the ones needed to run the `clean` target. This could be useful to easily check
if the build dependencies of a package are correctly specified; for example,
see this Salsa CI thread: <https://salsa.debian.org/salsa-ci-
team/pipeline/-/issues/187#note_339696>
Would it be reasonable for apt to add the `--no-arch` and `--no-indep` options,
or a `--clean-only` one?
Thanks :)
