There are a couple of problems with the code I wrote in all-packages:
1. Ignoring Provides: turns out to be a practical issue. It misses at
least the dependencies of athdir on libathdir and xcluster on libxj,
since the dependencies are via -dev packages.
2. daupload-release moves source packages into built/ which causes
all-packages to fail.
I'm thinking of reworking the logic to instead examine debian/control
files inside the checkouts, which would dodge both problems. I
initially avoided that approach because (1) control may be out of date
with respect to control.in, and (2) control and control.in may contain
substitutions which I cannot compute. For (1) I can prefer a
debian/control.in file if one exists, and (2) can likely be ignored
since substitutions won't be used to specify dependencies on other
Athena 10 packages.
