That's exactly what's waiting in incoming right now (gcc-defaults). The
matter at hand is whether it is necessary or desirable to require that
version 3.2 be used for the build by listing it as a build-dependency.
Otherwise, either can fulfill the build essential requirement for a C++
compiler.

They will not necessarily do so immediately, however. I believe this is a
manual process, to avoid random breakage.
