Patches to implement correct build-arch and build-indep functionality in dh are now available, filed in #604563 and #604912. Testing on a wider range of packages would be appreciated if anyone has the time. Once we have this dh support in unstable, we'll have ~50% of the archive with support for these rules. (cdbs already supports them.) Regards, Roger -- .''`.
