Package: src:magics++
Version: 2.29.6-2
Severity: serious
Dear maintainer:
I tried to build this package in stretch with "dpkg-buildpackage -A"
(which is what the "Arch: all" autobuilder would do to build it)
but it failed:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
None of debian/python*-magics++ exist because we are creating
arch-independent packages only.
Maybe putting "-" before the find command (as it's already done with
the next find command) would make it to work again, but I would recommend
to split override_dh_auto_install into override_dh_auto_install-arch
and override_dh_auto_install-indep as a more elegant solution.
Please also note that we could prevent this kind of bugs from
propagating to testing by always uploading the package in source-only
form. Just do "dpkg-buildpackage -S" and upload as usual.
As a bonus, we would get official build logs here for the Arch:all
architecture, which as of now you can see it's missing:

Thanks.
