Build-Recommends
I could use a 'build-recommends' dependency,
but I understand 'recommends'
is only available for the binary package, not the source.
Is this correct?
The situation: the packaging machine requires 'ocaml'
to make binaries from my source package, but if
'ocaml-native-compilers' is also installed it will
do so faster, however that package is not available
on all architectures.
This isn't an essential feature, but here is a case,
possibly isolated, where it could be useful.
