This is to be expected. Multi-line field values cannot have comment lines in them, sort of. But yes, the control files can. We can change the code to parse the value with the # lines, but that won't help anyone, as the build dependency parsing would fail. So, what we need is a way to strip the comments from the file when scanning it. But: That's not possible with APT's current architecture, as far as I can tell. So, this might take some time to fix. There's a bug report in APT for it as well, IIRC. That one should block this one. -- Julian Andres Klode - Debian Developer, Ubuntu Member See http://wiki.debian.org/JulianAndresKlode and http://jak-linux.org/.
