For more information about this image and its history, please see the relevant manifest file (library/buildpack-deps) in the docker-library/official-images GitHub repo.

In spirit, buildpack-deps is similar to Heroku's stack images. It includes a large number of "development header" packages needed by various things like Ruby Gems, PyPI modules, etc. For example, buildpack-deps would let you do a bundle install in an arbitrary application directory without knowing beforehand that ssl.h is required to build a dependent module.

This stack is designed to be the foundation of a language-stack image.
