I didn't see this happen in practice, and agree that it is a pathological
case.

It might be a good idea though, to not diverge from unstable in regards to
build-tools too much, I guess.

Of course I can also understand the goal to save space on the cds. Hence I
wouldn't mind if you mark the bug as won't fix, and consider it again if real
breakage should happen.
