Hi Nick, You're a lot closer to the mark than you might realise ;)
If you grab and unpack the source package, (apt-get source ...) you'll find a "debian" directory. Inside is a "rules" file which controls the actions dpkg takes during the package building process.
Take a look at what it calls configure/make with and you're all set :) -Michael Nick Rout wrote:
If I want to find out, for example, whether vlc in gutsy is compiled with dvb support, where do I look? I assume there is some sort of control file (like an rpm spec file or a gentoo ebuild file) in the source package?
