Well my evil plan did not work quite as I expected, so I am posting the results. Here is the answer from Jakub Wilk (on debian-mentors@d.o) ... If you're trying to use ${mono:Archs} in the Architecture field, then no, you can't do this: "While variable substitution is done on all control fields, some of those fields are used and needed during the build when the substitution did not yet occur. That's why you can't use variables in the Package, Source and Architecture fields." (from deb-substvars manpage) ... So here is what I ended up doing: $ cat rules ... override_dh_auto_configure: check-mono-archs ... mono_archs=$(DEB_MONO_ARCHS) gdcm_archs="$(shell grep -2 libvtkgdcm-cil debian/control | grep Architecture | cut -d: -f2 | tr " " "\n" | sort -g)" mono_sorted="$(shell echo ' $(mono_archs)' | tr ' ' '\n' | sort -g)" check-mono-archs: if [ $(gdcm_archs) != $(mono_sorted) ]; then echo "Incompatible arch, should be $(mono_archs)"; exit 1; fi Hope this is helpful to others. ref: http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2012/01/msg00797.html Cheers -- Mathieu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
