Argh! It could have been so simple! Thanks!
Unfortunately I just uploaded a new equivs version less
than a day ago.
Will convert this from -d to this anyway with the next upload.
Will though probably wait until the current version has been migrated
to testing due to the RC bug fix. (Although this is the better fix for
that issue.)
Can we bring the -d back? This break a workflow I’ve been depending on
for quite a few years.
I use equivs to build empty packages to use in integration tests for
OBS. They need to have dependencies between them, but none of them are
part of Debian, and none of them are installed in the container that
runs the test runner script. With no way to add -d, building of the
package always fails.
: Now create an empty dependent package in the public project
cat > public-pkg.equivs <<EOF
Package: public-pkg
Build-Depends: debhelper-compat (= 12), hidden-pkg
EOF
equivs-build --source public-pkg.equivs

Cheers,
Andrej
