The world isn't as boolean as it looks. In unstable, libcrypt-dev will
remain part of build-essential for some time still, but the pkgconf
transition requires to complete this transition in rebootstrap sooner
rather than later. However, in rebootstrap, such a missing dependency is
relatively easy to work around and given that I have a bug number now, I
know when to drop the workaround. So from your point of view, it is not
urgent. Just fix it eventually in the right way.

There is also pam and cyrus-sasl2 and probably more.
