I can build a package with the minimal dependencies on my debian box, but the binary versions rebuilt by autobuilder wont get the minimal dependencies cause, as above, autobuilders are running unstable. Anyway the 'users' from the debian point of view are those running stable, but they are not supposed to use a package until it reach the stable release. In other words: user are not supposed to use unstable package and developers are not suppose to develop directly for user, they develop stuff that will be for the users only after it reach the stable release.
