Have you talked to the dpkg developers about this? There is at
least dpkg-checkbuilddeps which checks build dependencies, and
I think dpkg also does build-time dependency handling in some
other tools. And as dpkg is one level lower than APT, I think
they should be asked first before doing something like this.
