Well, "apt-get build-dep" is great in theory, but it sounds like it may
result in some dependencies coming from 12.04 and some from 14.04,
because already-installed packages don't get updated, and according to
Felipe, that already caused problems with autotools. What do you think
would be the best way to solve this?
