if a package is silly enough to build-depend on gettext, and regenerate it's auto* files including an invocation of autopoint, then it needs to know to build-depend cvs (which would be a, um, policy violation). I expect that the correct answer is to break autopoint into it's own package, which Depends: cvs. Or get policy to explicitly tell people that they may not build-depend auto*, nor may they call autopoint in their build or install targets... lamont -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
