Sorry, I clearly didn't read the original report thoroughly enough. I
understand better now.
Wouldn't Build-Depends potentially have the same problem for packages
with particularly heavy dependencies? I suppose we could cross that
bridge when we come to it, though, and realistically Binary is a lot
longer.
Anyway, seconded in principal, although I agree with the wording
commentary previously posted.
