This is an education issue with the support team, nothing more. This is a bug tracker for software. If you have questions about how to package applications for Debian/Ubuntu, you can find a number of people who can help you in the #ubuntu-motu IRC channel on Freenode IRC. I should note

Please stop reopening this bug report. If you want to build Qt with different configure options it's up to you to make the package work. We won't support that in the Ubuntu package. ** Changed in: qt4-x11 (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Invalid -- You received this bug notification

Hello Roland. My name is Harald and I am core developer of Ubuntu. Regarding the suggested changes I have to agree with the previous commenters. The way the package is built is exactly according to the Debian Policy Manual [1] which defines precisely what a good and reliable package should look

If you have changed which files are generated, for instance by changing the configure options, then you can't use dpkg-buildpackage (or debuild) without changing the various *.install files. You can still compile and manually, but you will need to edit the various packaging files if you want to

Well, I followed the instructions posted EXPLICITLY and I can tell you that the various *.install things were not mentioned in any way shape or form for modification. So this is a bug. You EITHER fix the *.install packages to be CONFIG aware (as they should be) OR you fix the documentation.

.install files are meant to be a static manifest of the files resulting from a build. A mechanism doesn't exist in the Debian packaging system to make the .install files aware of configuration. The only thing that comes even remotely close is wildcards such as /usr/share/* to install everything

the files under debian/ are used specifically to create the .debs that are distributed in (K)Ubuntu and Debian, which does not use the static plugins. You are doing something custom, and so you need to work out how to make it do what you want. This is no issues with the current status of the

We can't possibly foresee what files will be installed for every combination of compile flags and support them in case somebody wants to customize the package. Once you customize a package, making sure it builds is entirely in your hands. If you want to make modifications to how things you are

This is a maintainer issue. Our packages compile fine. You did not make enough changes for your modifications to actually work. RTFM. A pretty bold statement, for somebody who cannot produce packages that actually build. There is an extremely limited number of configuration switches which
