Strange. While it's true that I completely forgot about Bug #805947 when proposing the patch, I would have expected that at least "dpkg-buildpackage" would work again. Was it really not the case? (If so, the package was more broken than I thought). > I couldn't figure out how to > fix it so I made a tested and working patch to switch to dh, attached. > The generated binary packages have the same set of files and work. > > The patch also fixes the other libforms RC bug, CCing it. The one about binary-indep doing nothing (which I also reported). This certainly explains why "dpkg-buildpackage -A" would still not work after adding build-arch and build-indep. > I have uploaded this NMU to the 7-days delayed queue to give the > maintainer a chance to come up with a non-dh version of the patch. Note to the maintainer, Peter Galbraith: If I were you, I would just upload the NMU as a MU with a big thanks to Paul Wise. dh is a lot better. Thanks.
