Package: wesnoth
Version: 1:1.6a
Severity: serious
Justification: no longer builds from source
Hello everyone,
I just tried to build wesnoth 1.6a from source to be able to have the new
version parallel to the 1.4.x-series.
$ sudo apt-get build-dep -t unstable wesnoth
$ sudo apt-get source -t unstable wesnoth
Afterwards I edited the config file
$ sudo nano wesnoth-1.6a/debian/rules
and changed the --prefix option to
--prefix=/usr/local
Then, this command stops with an error:
$ sudo apt-get -b source -t unstable wesnoth
with this messages:

Sorry, but that's a bit of a hypocrite call, the package builds
absolutely fine from source, otherwise
<https://buildd.debian.org/~luk/status/package.php?suite=unstable&p=wesnoth>
would know about it.

... and with that you changed the source in both an unsupported way and
in an incomplete way. The original source builds just fine without any
problems.

You will of course have to adopt not just the --prefix option to make
that happen but also debian/*.install and propably other files too. This
is nothing that is supported, and if your partly changed source fails to
build it is not a problem in the packaging.

You think wrong, sorry.
