Well that's not true, plenty of packages successfully use Build-Depends-Indep (by doing the work from binary instead of build). Yes, it's suboptimal, but it doesn't make Build-Depends-Indep useless. And reassigning this bug to policy is just pointless when there's already years old bugs about this same issue and a lot more discussion and info. This bug was about your package not building, nothing else. Cheers, Julien -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
