Technically it is always true, but it is problematic and avoided where possible. Related is that for *stable the buildds consider only the first option of build dependencies, never alternatives in the build dependencies. IOW: Build-Depends: foo | bar and Build-Depends: foo are 100% equivalent in unstable (but "bar" might be considered in backports). > > A binNMU might change the version used, even switching from 0.10 to 0.7. > > yes. if the rdep is compatible with both versions, is that a problem?

Yes, a binNMU is not different from any other build. Another example would be a rebuild in stable-security for a security vulnerability, that changes behaviour due to switching from 0.10 to 0.7. cu Adrian
