Hmmm, this has the problem that it introduces a circular
build-dependency:

  freebsd-buildutils → freebsd-libs (via libsbuf-dev) → freebsd-buildutils

which is a problem when bootstrapping on new architectures. For
example I was planning on making freebsd-buildutils buildable on the
Hurd (so that freebsd-libs could follow), but this makes it more
difficult, as it will require manual bootstrapping.

We should perhaps move it to its own independent package.

Thanks,
