Bug#41232: debian-policy: [PROPOSAL] Build-time dependencies on binary packages

[Steve Greenland <stevegr@debian.org>]

If I understand the proposal, I think I have a strong objection to
the names of the fields.

[ Depends, Arch-Depends, Indep-Depends, Conflicts, Arch-Conflicts,
Indep-Conflicts]

I realize that these would be in the first stanza of the control
file, and therefore don't technically conflict with the binary
Depends/Conflicts fields, but I think it's going to lead to a lot
of confusion, particularly for new maintainers. Why not name them
Src-Depends, Src-Indep-Depends, etc.
