I don’t know. Any Debian advanced user wanting to build a package can
just run “aptitude build-dep python2.6”. Aptitude has the nice property
of asking for a confirmation, so it’s even possible to cherry-pick from
the lists of deps (press “e” at the confirmation prompt). E.g., I choose
readline but not tk. So it seems to me that the information and the
command are already here.
