Hi Colin, The check build-dependency of libpipeline is only needed for running the unit tests. Since unit tests cannot be run during cross compilation, libpipeline must be crossed with DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck. The build profile feature now allows to also drop the corresponding Build-Depends and thus allows shrinking the set of packages that need to be cross built to achieve an architecture bootstrap. I.e. if libpipeline (and a few other packages) mark their check build-dependency with the <nocheck> profile, we can remove the check package from the architecture bootstrap. For more information on the build profile syntax, infrastructure support and established profile names refer to https://wiki.debian.org/BuildProfileSpec. Please consider applying the attached patch, that implements the proposed change. Helmut
