dpkg recently got released with support for the new syntax (>= 1.17.14). Did you find some time to look at the patch I submitted to patch debhelper? If you have any critique I would be glad to address it. I have been testing the patch during the past couple of weeks and did not spot problems so far. If you like that better, then I can also prepare a patch which uses libdpkg-perl directly instead of copy&pasting the build profile evaluation logic from it. Since debhelper already indirectly depends on libdpkg-perl through dpkg-dev this additional dependency should not be a problem? As you can see, this bug is already a blocker for 10 other bugs so it would be nice if it could be resolved soon :) Thank you for your consideration! cheers, josch -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
