The build is done by sbuild. sbuild installs the packages specified in Build-Depends: as root, then extracts the source package, then calls the relevant debian/rules targets, but as a normal user. Since the targets are called as a normal user, we are in no position to modify the list of install packages during the build. -- | Lucas Nussbaum | [email protected] http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/ | | jabber: [email protected] GPG: 1024D/023B3F4F | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
