Just turn on common-sense and maybe other stuff and think about what
this auto-update-control-crap means.
Think about - the buildds getting other build-depends than you had for
your build.
Or the security team.
Or a later NMU.

Anyone who wants that really should not upload a package.

And now please go and read my reject mail again - I propose a way for
people who really need help to set the correct Build-Depends.
