PLEASE KEEP THE REFS IN 'armv7lhf-cross-toolchain' STRATUM UP TO DATE WITH
THIS ONE!
+
+ Please note that the chunk 'build-depends' field is treated differently in
+ this stratum to how other strata in definitions.git use it. Other strata
+ rely on the fact that dependencies of a dependency (called 'transitive
+ dependencies') are implicitly included in the staging area. Within
+ build-essential, some chunks list transitive dependencies explicitly to
+ make clearer what is going on.
