   do I need? (all of the unsatisfied build-depends and the build-deps
   of the build-deps).

select (unsatisfied Build-Depends) from sid where Package = "packageX";

-- circular build deps
pullIn fromDist toDist packageX
 let package = (Package (Just ((==) packageX))) DDRelation (Dist fromDist)
     unsatis = satisfy (buildDeps packageX) (Dist toDist)
     distinct (map pullIn packageX)
