The other option, which I've been thinking about for a while, would be
to allow binary packages (deb or udeb) to declare a field such as:
Source-Depends: foo (= 1.2-1)
We could then teach dak to hang on to source packages for as long as
they're still referenced by any binary package, thus making all this
much easier.
That's a post-lenny discussion though, but possibly worth considering on
another list somewhere.
