Right, but just for your information the build-deps will be satisfied
by a association of all post-release pockets (release, updates,
security and backports) in -backports chroot, so, it's not 'only in
-backports' as you said.

The association is similiar to the ogre-model:

++-----------++------------------------------------------++
||  target   ||            build-deps                    ||
++-----------++------------------------------------------++
|| release   || release                                  ||
|| updates   || release + updates + security             ||
|| proposed  || release + updates + security + proposed  ||
|| security  || release + security                       ||
|| backports || release + updates + security + backports ||
++-----------++------------------------------------------++

Thank you.
