Please clarify: to bugreport or not bugreport



Just for the record;  I routinely build packages from debian source
(that's my way to testing).  Each build starts from minimal environment
(dpkg, apt, build-essential, their dependencies);  then Build-Depends is
satisfied and build goes on.  I suppose that either environment on
build-machines where binaries for Debian are built is not that minimal
or Build-Depends is satisfied not that blindly.

Hence the problem;  Sometimes I FTBFS some package -- because
Build-Depends either misses some package or lacks explicitly set
relation.

FTBFS itself doesn't make problem for me (each time I'd managed to
figure out a block and workaround it manually).  I still can't decide --
should (would? could?) I bugreport this?

Look, I admit that I build unusual way.  Maybe it's not the problem?
(I've solved that twice today, that's why I post.)
