Yes, that it is probably the same with most packages. And in cases where a package compiles in a few seconds it is not problem. It is more annoying when the package takes some 10 minutes to compile, and when building the arch=all packages could theoretically be done in a few seconds. But I agree that it is not a top priority (that's why it is severity=wishlist), it just bothered me when chasing a bug in the ocaml-mode package. > I'd rather rewrite the rules file using dh with overrides, and use > dh_listpackages to decide what to compile.

I agree, simplyfying the rules file would probably be more worthwhile. -Ralf. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
