Build-deps in fact are necessary not only at "build time", but they are 
essential also for user installation - at "run time". For example, akode and 
libr are for R14.0.x series in build-deps, but are necessary for run time. 
For R14.1.x are akode and libr already integrated into GIT...

Some packages are in build-deps, because it is an older version of libraries 
== no longer a part of the distributions and it would be better to update the 
code so that the libraries will be no longer needed. However, it may require 
more effort than we have in human resources. For example, library lcms1 - 
some parts of code has been updated for lcms2, but large applications as 
digikam and koffice still waiting. And therefore lcms1 is necessary. For such 
a library seems to be better to update the Trinity code than integrating 
these libraries into Trinity GIT.
