"Build-Minimal" doesn't capture the fact that we are talking about
dependencies. "Build-Depends-Minimal" would work, but is not actually
shorter than "Build-Depends-Stage1" and it is also not specific to
bootstrapping which was an argument Steve made against many other
suggestions.

So, if you think it's ok to leave out the words "Depends" and
"Recommends", the logical idea would be to use "Build-Stage1" (though I
do not think this is the correct route. I, personally, am in favor of
"Build-Depends-Stage1")
