In fact, I send the following note to the list just after committing,
but I sent it from emacs out of habit despite knowing I can't send
mail from emacs yet.  (I don't suppose you know the lowest-effort way
of getting a Gutsy Debathena machine to be able to send email from
emacs.  I tried setting sendmail-program to /usr/bin/msmtp and it
didn't appear to work, although I wasn't certain.)

I just committed a script named all-packages.

I realize this script duplicates, imperfectly (by not handling
Provides), the logic in build-server/build-all/gen-build-deps.  That's
mainly because I'm currently working on tools I can use to bootstrap
an apt repository from scratch, while the tools in build-all assumes
it can work from a reference dist which has already been built.
---

I'll look harder at adapting build-all to work for a from-scratch
rebuild.
