Oh man, I forgot about that. That makes things so much easier that I've replaced that perl script with a simple Python script instead. (I can always get the perl out of branch history if I want it again).

My new Python has the issue that having extra packages installed might affect the build, but that's not new.

I'll ask in Debian what they think about the general problem (although they'll probably just say "don't bundle dependencies"...)
