Ok, this is what I have as recognized fields in the current dpkg CVS. The
wording in that new proposal for bug #41232 through me for a loop. Anyway,
all that is left to be done for dpkg is have dpkg-buildpackage (and
possibly dpkg-source?) do something when the build depends aren't
satisfied.
There's also the extended syntax for the fields, it is possible to
specify architecture.
e.g. for glibc: Build-Depends: kernel-headers-2.2.12 [!hurd-i386
!m68k], kernel-headers-2.2.10 [m68k], hurd-dev [hurd-i386],
gnumach-dev [hurd-i386], mig [hurd-i386]
It'd be cool to have dpkg proper support this syntax too.
