I am pretty sure that building with rbd support is optional. However even after looking at Debian Policy in detail¹ I still do not know whether: Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 11), dpkg-dev (>= 1.16.1~), libaio-dev [linux-any], zlib1g-dev, librdmacm-dev [linux-any], libibverbs-dev [linux-any], librbd-dev [linux-any !mipsel], libgtk2.0-dev, libcairo2- dev, libnuma-dev [linux-any], flex, bison, libglusterfs-dev instead of Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 11), dpkg-dev (>= 1.16.1~), libaio-dev [linux-any], zlib1g-dev, librdmacm-dev [linux-any], libibverbs-dev [linux-any], librbd-dev [linux-any !], libgtk2.0-dev, libcairo2-dev, libnuma-dev [linux-any], flex, bison, libglusterfs-dev would work. What I do not know whether I can first include some architecture wildcard and then exclude some other architecture. The policy appears to lack any clear guidance on that. There is also no example in there which indicates that this is possible. Just using [!mipsel] would break the build on other architectures like FreeBSD and Hurd again.
