Package: src:grib-api
Version: 1.14.7-2
Dear maintainer: I see a conditional dh_buildinfo line in debian/rules.
This is not good, and I explain why:
When we want a package being present during build, we use Build-Depends.
When we don't want a package being present during build, we use
Build-Conflicts.
There is an expectation that packages always build the same way
and a conditional line like that breaks such expectation. This is
also the reason why we don't have Build-Recommends.
Therefore, please don't call dh-buildinfo conditionally.
Patch attached.
Thanks.
