Package: general Severity: important looking at recent GCC uploads, I see install ability problems for the build dependencies for GCC packages (triggered by libgcj build dependencies, gtk+2.0). I can't think of any value besides some minor space savings to have -dev packages to be architecture independent. If you really need some newer -dev version you should be able to do this with an updated build dependency.
A source upload for a library always requires a rebuild on any architecture, so there is no buildd time savings to make the -dev package architecture independent. So why are people trying to optimize for space instead of turn-around-time? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
