I don't  think we need  it  actually, as  the new  build-essential has
already migrated to testing:

http://packages.debian.org/testing/devel/build-essential

and it now   depends  on gcc   4.1,  which then  becomes the   default
compiler. I'll just update our repository.

Yes, you're right, that's probably the case.
