Aehm, what do you mean? For just getting src-deps working, it's only necessary that the appropriate fields are passed through (better without warnings :-) Ok, we wish that src-deps are also checked, but this isn't too hard (and IMHO it belongs into dpkg-source -x). sbuild (used by the build daemons) already understands src-deps in the control file. Do you consider this a working implementation? However, it's not packaged yet :-), but more because the whole buildd setup stuff is rather complicated. I've made some progress here lately, but it isn't finished yet. Roman
