So if I add those without a `dh_buildinfo` script to go with it, there will be FTBFS bugs.I think that is an acceptable number but I'm clearly biased. :)I can add those three lines to `debhelper`, no problem. But I assume "someone else" will handle the clean up/fall out. To be clear, that "someone else" is not going to me.The clearness is appreciated!So before I add it, who will clean up the reminder? (Just so I know it is not going to fall between 5 chairs with everyone going "I thought you had it")I will. I've also filed #1089874 ("drop depends on dh-buildinfo from haskell-devscripts") today, which - with rebuilds - will handle most of the problems more to the core.
Thanks. It is now committed as 97819c3cf66633b39af06e31d40631f5e3c94943.I went with Policy 7.6.2 (using Conflicts rather than Breaks) since that avoids lintian warnings for version constraints and should still be applicable here.
Best regards, Niels
