Build-Depends: libapt-pkg-dev libept-dev Action: block Message: Transition to testing of 140 rdepends of apt: please contact debian-release@lists.debian.org before uploading. Build-Depends: libfoo-dev libbar-dev foobar Action: warn Message: A transition is being planned, you may want to contact xyz if you intend to upload again in the near future If that isn't too much burden, I can patch dput to download the file, check if one of the build-deps in the .dsc shows up on a record an take the appropriate action.
