Proposal: Amendment for section 7.7 debian policy



Hi,

i would like to propose an addendum to section 7.7 of the Debian Policy:

| Build-Depends and Build-Depends-Indep must not depend directly or
| indirectly on packages which provide network services.

Rationale:
a) Packages with no secure default configuration may expose the building
   machine. Also network facing services may expose the system to
   security issues.
b) You can not relay on the assumption that init-scripts are not called
   within a building chroot.  

Improvments of the above text are welcome and reasons that proof me
wrong also.
