Package: dpkg-dev Version: 1.19.0.5 Severity: normal For explicit triggers, both the interested and activated packages can specify "await" or "noawait". I could not understand from the current documentation what is supposed to happen if the two specify the opposite.
Looking at the source, I think that the triggering package will only await the trigger if both specify "await" (or don't specify either way).
