I think that no package should build depend on devscripts! It contains a
bunch of scripts for developers and is an overkill for building a
package in a minimal environment.

I discovered that cdbs pulls in devscripts and created build
dependencies on devscripts. It uses licensecheck from devscripts. I
think we should put licensecheck in a separate source+binary package and
thus get rid of the build dependency on devscripts. What do you think?
