So: What's the package enabling this policy-rc.d thing?

My build setup is made of essential and build-essential packages only,
as stated by policy.

It seems that services (the ones provided by build-dependencies) are
not supposed to start while a package is being built, but on the other
hand there is not any essential or build-essential package to avoid that.

Should we change the definition of build-essential, or maybe packages
build-depending on packages starting services should build-depend
as well on whatever package avoids the services to be started?

Thanks.
