I had some problems with mail getting to me.  Things are now slowly
being processed.  I can't really follow everything that's happened
with this.

>From what I understand so far:

cdd-dev would get a Depends on apt.  I'm perfectly happy with that.
I would consider that part of the bug to be serious.

It's just downloading Packages files, while I thought it was actually
downloading .deb's file.  I clearly didn't properly read the build log.
I don't have a problem with this part anymore.  But I would like to
suggest you use whatever is currently on the system (in
/var/lib/apt/lists/).  I don't see why you need to download it again.

I think someone also cloned it to say it doesn't work if there is no
network.  That's probably a bug in cdd-dev then, and would also be
serious.

I have a problem with package that leave things behind after they've
been removed and purged, or have build something.  But I can't say
that this is considered to be RC.  Using the Packages file from the
system would also solve that problem.
