Hi all, I'm taking on the packaging of a library that has a build-time dependency on the dev package from another library. Do any of the dpkg-dev or debhelper tools check for this line in the control file? I've poked around a bit in the source code, but haven't found what I'm looking for; even though the line is there in the control file, the first thing to complain about its absence is ./configure when it errors out. Is there something I can put in debian/rules that will catch this earlier in the build process, or is the line currently only useful to the autobuilders?
