It helps me (and Debian generally, I assume) that packages do not have missing dependencies or build-dependencies when introduced to unstable, and it is my understanding that when NEW queue is involved there is no way to know if they are missing or not because that would requre a crystal ball.

Thanks. It looks relatively trivial to enable optimizations to debug mode builds. With dh-rust I am doing the opposite of disabling optimizations conditional to DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=noopt. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ * Sponsorship: https://ko-fi.com/drjones [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
