I fear I do not agree with you, of course ;) First, what I said was a bit oversimplified. In fact, there is two sets of build-dependencies. One for the architecture dependent binary packages (called build-depends) and one for the arch-independent ones (called build-depends-indep). Then, Debian packages are automatically built on build daemon which are in charge of compiling them for all the 12 architectures (1). buildd only have to build arch-dependent packages, of course, so they install the build-depends set. For now, quilt only have one binary package, which is arch-dependent because of backup-files. Of course, the build-dep/b-d-indep mecanism could be used to solve the issue, and I guess it's the way I'll follow now. But removing the tex dependency would have been easier from my POV, so I wanted to check whether it would be ok for you or not. It is not, and that's cool with me ;) Bye, Mt.
