Uh, what? Please give an example.

The only example I can think of is programs that use configure to
include support for anything they can find installed. So you get
different results depending on what's installed in the buildd. It's a
bug in the packaging though, the maintainer should be doing --enable-*
or --disable-* for every option. The point being that if you only
build in a clean chroot you'll never notice the problem.

That's how I understand it anyway,

Have a nice day,
