Bug Description
Hi,
I'm using prevu on a weekly (and currently sometimes daily) basis and thus I would like to say thank you - I got tire of pbuilder at some point :)
Albeit, I have a problem I guess many people have when backporting a package, the build-deps are not always satisfied and it involves a lot of manual work and attention to backport those packages as well. Do you see any possibility to automate this somehow?

I don't see any plans to change this behavior. An automatic recursive dependency build can easily spiral out of control and backport half of the development distro over, which is clearly not what you want. Until someone can figure out better AI/heuristics for modifying/
