build-essential and checkinstall

[Andrei Marian GHERGHE]

When i try to compile a .tar.gz, i can't compile it until i install build-essential and checkinstall.
I think that's good to include build-essential and checkinstall by default, because it's easier to compile a file.

This isn't a needs-packaging bug report because build-essential and checkinstall are already packaged.

I don't see why this bug should be incomplete now that it's been whishlisted.

We're not going to include the full build-tools on a default install... Too few people will need it. Thanks for the suggestion though, and please keep reporting bugs to Ubuntu.
