How about we just borrow a little code for dpkg-buildpackage from sbuild
then? :)
I guess for this purpose, dpkg-buildpackage can simply print a big fat
warning (by default exiting), with an option to ignore the warnings, and
another option to not check the build deps at all. I would like the code
that processes the build deps to be consistent for all the programs using
it. Since sbuild already has it... :)
In this capacity, dpkg-buildpackage will be parsing the unpacked
debian/control file, while sbuild will be checking the .dsc, and if
apt-get implements it, it will probably parse the Sources.gz and maybe the
.dsc for double checking.
