Dependencies never have been a problem.  But I think DSA wants the
version from either stable or backports.

I would like to remind you that we currently run version 1.0-6
of edos-debcheck.  Can I just replace the file you mailed
with the one we have in /org/wanna-build/bin/add-sources.py?

(You can see what we have from the git repo at
https://buildd.debian.org/git/wanna-build.git/)

It seems to contain more changes than I was expecting.  Ours
might also be patched for whatever reason.

I would also like to remind you that we need both
essential and build-essential, and all of there
dependencies.
