Why?

If I wanted to build (say) an ocaml package "foo", I would

    apt-get build-dep foo
    apt-get --build source foo

not

    apt-get install every-ocaml-package

Similarly, if I was building a package that wasn't get apt-get
sourceable, I would

    ghc --make Setup
    ./Setup configure

And then install only the libraries it complained about, by changing
each complained-about dependency from bar to libghc6-bar-dev.
