Hi Guillem, while looking into a .buildinfo file, I noticed that Installed-Build-Depends are useless beyond #871494: They lack architecture qualification. Thus there is no way to figure out for which architecture to install which package. The installation set cannot be reproduced. I believe that a good solution here would be to simply arch qualify every package and then drop all :$DEB_BUILD_ARCH qualifications. For native builds there won't be a difference. For cross builds, the field becomes useful. I am proposing DEB_BUILD_ARCH rather than DEB_HOST_ARCH here, because essential will always be installed for the build architecture and thus poses significant chunk of packages. Helmut
