I think I read it in the Policy once... if the package links just to that
one library, merely build-depending on it is fine; however, if it
explicitely links to the others that just happen to be depended upon by that
particular one, the other build-dependencies need to stay.
I'm just checking if Uwe was changing it because of brevity or because he
checked it all out and made sure proper procedure was followed already with
just one build-dependency :)
