Sorry, did not follow you here (apt newbie inside) :
> The things you need to build the package come from your native distro and this is what will keep what you're building from pulling in uptizillion foreign libs and doing things like replacing your libc.

So, what will happen if the package depends on other libs, in a more recent version than installed on the system ? Will these be fetched from source, then locally installed ?
