Package: apt-build
Version: 0.12.5
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


apt-build needs for proper fetching of at least index-file curl -- but
there's no dependency! trying
# apt-build install cupsys
fails with

sh: policy: command not found
sh: policy: command not found
Unable to find binary candidate for cupsys at /usr/bin/apt-build line
462.

what is "policy"? which package contains the right one?
