Source: debian-installer Severity: important Built-Using was missing some items, see #696418 & #700026, so a patch was pushed to try and deal with it:
commit b4411bfb56601cf6a7366a1bec065b56b91f1a42 Author: Cyril Brulebois <k...@debian.org> Date: Mon Mar 3 00:00:46 2014 +0100 Extend write-built-using to also generate the ${extra:Built-Using} substvar. This makes it possible to track packages mentioned in the EXTRA_PACKAGES variable (currently set to "bf-utf-source syslinux"). Thanks to Ansgar Burchardt for the reports (Closes: #696418, #700026). Note: Unknown packages are ignored, so architecture-specific packages shouldn't be a problem. Acked-by: Ian Campbell <i...@debian.org> Signed-off-by: Cyril Brulebois <k...@debian.org> I lost track of Karsten's objection here: https://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2015/02/msg00012.html so here's a bug report to try and get that fixed instead of just reverting the said commit. (Funny how things that shouldn't be an issue turn out to be one…) It's indeed sad that I only tested the case of an entirely inexistent package and didn't think about the funny not-available-on-all-archs packages… Maybe we could iterate over the packages mentioned there, calling dpkg-checkbuilddeps with its -d flag to see if the relevant packages are relevant? Another idea might be to use Dpkg::Deps to figure out whether some package is relevant for the current architecture? Any other ideas? I'd happily take patches here, as I'm busy with other bugs.
