If you do this, dependencies will be consistent, but not equal to those
in the outside world. basically, there are 3 kinds of dependencies :
- build-dependencies : these aren't really a problem here
- dynamically-made library dependencies : whatever was needed by the
package just after building
- explicitely mentionned dependencies.
Of these, only the dynamically-made library dependencies will be
different for your locally-built package, (they may be different
for a locally-built package of the same distribution as well), but
they should be _correct_. If they aren't, it is a bug in the source
package.
