Oh, I'm sorry, this is probably just a sequence of misunderstandings. I
think I misunderstood your message as being somewhat opposed, and then I
think you read my "disagree" as stronger than I meant it. All I was
trying to say is that I think (based on my very sketchy understanding of
build profiles) that this would have a lower bar of entry for building
non-Debian packages as a stepping stone to proper Debian packages than
pre-downloading the dependencies.
