> vlc (0.8.6.c-2) unstable; urgency=high > . > [ Loic Minier ] > * Merge the nerver uploaded 0.8.6.a.debian-7 changelog entry into > 0.8.6.c-1. > . > [ Christophe Mutricy ] > * Build-depends on linux-libc-dev rather than linux-kernel-headers > (Closes: #430710 ) I wrote in my bug report: Please update your package to either build-depend on linux-libc-dev | linux-kernel-headers (>= $version), or to not build-depend on either package since this build-dependency is satisfied by all versions of l-k-h since oldstable. Instead, the new version of vlc has a hard-coded build-dependency on linux-libc-dev. This won't cause build failures in Debian, but it's still a bug; it unnecessarily prevents building backports of the current vlc package for etch, and linux-libc-dev is an implementation detail of build-essential so is not something you should build-depend on alone anyway. So the build-dependency as it is currently included is of no benefit to current unstable/testing systems, but will hamper the package's buildability on older systems. Please remove it. Thanks, -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
