after seeing (and fixing) some of these bugs I have a question: Is there a good reason why debhelper cannot set -DCMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM=3.5 by default? In practice maintainers and people like me fixing RC bugs are now blindly doing this (or bumping cmake_minimum_required) manually in hundreds of packages. I do not know whether this would fix all of the 1k RC CMake 4 bugs, but I haven't seen a different FTBFS cause so far.[1] > Cheers > Timo cu Adrian [1] except some false positives due to FTBFS not related to CMake
