NAME
mk-build-deps - build a package satisfying a package's
build-dependencies
SYNOPSIS
mk-build-deps --help|--version
mk-build-deps [options] <control file | package name> [...]
DESCRIPTION
Given a package name and/or control file, mk-build-deps will use equivs
to generate a binary package which may be installed to satisfy all the
build dependencies of the given package.
If --build-dep and/or --build-indep are given, then the resulting
binary package(s) will depend solely on the
Build-Depends/Build-Depends-Indep dependencies, respectively.
OPTIONS
-i, --install
Install the generated packages and its build-dependencies.
-t, --tool

-r, --remove
Remove the package file after installing it. Ignored if used
without the install switch.
-a foo, --arch foo

Build-Depends dependencies.
