Any particolar benefit from adding these b-deps? Any new feature?

Well, the approach of removing the stuff that blocks the compile
process is not considered the optimal direction for any distribution.
It's like avoiding the problem, in the end.
And here we're talking of documentation; people need documentation!
I'm spending time (lots of it) trying to modify the upstream source thru
patches to use libraries already included in Debian. That's why things
are not changing in this period.
Help is really appreciated (tagging now).
