To be in main, the package *must* build-depend only on things in
main. So, please take extra good care that the following is respected:
If build-time dependencies are specified, it must be possible to
build the package and produce working binaries on a system with only
essential and build-essential packages installed and also those
required to satisfy the build-time relationships
It seems very hard to me to check this (especially the "working
binaries" part, no new bug) if the binary packages in Debian haven't
been built with the free toolchain.
