 I'm speaking of the extra dependencies of mk-build-deps.

 mk-build-deps: makes what you want, depends on stuff which we don't
                want to install in pbuilder chroots (e.g. equivs,
                debhelper)
 pbuilder-satisfydepends-aptitude: doesn't make what you want, but
                                   doesn't depend on extra stuff

 We can't switch pbuilder from pbuilder-satisfydepends-aptitude to
 mk-build-deps because of the deps; I'm not tempted to make
 pbuilder-satisfydepends-aptitude more complex if you have another
 option (mk-build-deps).
