Delivered-To: maintonly@bugs.debian.org
Package: apt
Version: 0.5.3
Severity: wishlist
It would be nice if, after build-dep was bug-reduced, a build-dep-src
option was added to download build-dependancy source packages and
compile them before installing - a 'stable' install could still have new
source lines and latest software (apt-get build-dep-src xchat for
example could download the latest glib/gtk+ source and compile them as
well as xchat itself).
I can see this being a problem, however, if build-deps traced back to
libc6 and you ended up recompiling all software on the box. How the
build-dep system would manage this, I don't know, but it would be nice,
when recompiling to add optimizations, if you could optimize more at
once.

I think what you are trying to say here is that someone else should write
new and innovative software that has nothing to do with APT, except maybe
using the library...
