I worked out a patch that uses the build profile specification. With the software in sid (dpkg, apt, ...) this actually works. I renamed the profile from "stage1" to "nobiarch", because it is actually possible to bootstrap a multilib cross compiler (albeit non-trivial). On the other hand it might also be useful to do native builds without multilib packages. As is, the patch is rejected by the archive due to #744246. > It certainly won't be allowed in the archive before jessie is stable. > Also apt, sbuild and pbuilder don't currently understand this syntax. This is not so certain anymore. apt and sbuild do understand this syntax. pbuilder has a patch. We are working with ftp masters to update their copy of python-apt such that dak no longer rejects such uploads. You have two options if you wish to go forward with this patch: a) Wait for #744246 to be fixed and upload. In that case, please send block 737946 by 744246 to the bug tracking system. b) Remove the hunk changing Build-Depends and upload as is. Apart from warnings about unknown "Build-Profiles" fields, the package will continue to work on older systems and current dpkg is able to build the package with profiles enabled. All you loose is the ability to do apt-get build-dep -Pnobiarch ncurses or dpkg-checkbuilddeps -Pnobiarch Note that this patch is actively being tested at https://jenkins.debian.net/view/rebootstrap/. Thanks for considering Helmut
