I'm sure it does use the build-dep entry but it may use additional
information (the same way as sbuild knows what's likely missing from the
build deps). But sbuild doesn't use this feature (I'm assuming for good
reason, but I've not bothered to check).

Possible but if that stuff was in the source dependencies (generated
from andrea output) file it would have been installed.

Thanks; I've temporarily added the missing stuff to the sourcedeps so the
next builder won't have to bother.
