This isn't all that accurate. The autobuilder considers some things
build-essential, like debhelper. So just because the autobuilders do not
have a build-dep for it, doesn't mean it doesn't need any.
Just FYI, since I'm not really interested in this thread...if I and
others keep filing bugs, sooner or later everything will sucomb and add
Build-Deps anyway. Forcing it with policy only means that my bug reports
will read a bit different (the severity of failing to build on a
supported arch, is just as bad as failing to meet policy, since policy
states that packages must build).
