In the case that it is, how would you feel about making the sample
build/run conditional on the presence of libpt in the build system?
Well, it was very much needed as a precaution in the past - especially on
the non-trivial architectures. Doing a conditional test without enforcing it
to FTBFS the package would just reintroduce that harm with a very low bar to
jump over. If you think it is seriously needed we should add the
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS switch and conditionalize it in there - or plain not run
it at all.
I wasn't specific enough about the conditional:
What I meant was, skipping the tests altogether if
/usr/lib/libpt.so.1.10.1 is found.
That way, it'll do the runtime test on clean chroots but skip it in
development environments, which is much better than having a
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
Any objections to that?
