This is correct; however, having read bug #552200, I'm not yet personally convinced that it deserved to be removed. If the package later added some arch-dependent binary packages, it would be nice to be consistent. (I think I could envisage an automated Perl package building tool that would love to be able to install automatically just the packages needed to run the clean rule - I shall write such a script in my copious free time and then complain bitterly to the lintian maintainers.) The fix is to move bash (>= 4.0) to Build-Depends-Indep, and leave debhelper and quilt in the Build-Depends field. It's not a particularly serious issue, though. Bernd: Sorry, I'll review your package tomorrow. :) -- Tim Retout <[email protected]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
