Well, it's not strictly mandatory. Usually, it doesn't make such a big
difference, and the minor missing dependencies are found using the
autobuilders. You just had some bad luck with this unexpected doxygen
dependency, with doxygen itself depending on flex and bison, plus
libsigrok depending on python to generated the C++ bindings. This is
rather unusual, so I can't blame you for not having tested things
inside a minimal chroot: our autobuilders are also here to allow us to
save a bit of time when developing the packages, knowing that the
autobuilders will validate a number of things once the packages get
committed.

Thanks!

Thomas
