I have. Some packages require specific versions of supporting packages. Since we don't have source depends, /usr/doc/<pkg>/buildinfo.Debian files are a useful thing. Even Manoj does it! Christian, here is how I do it (borrowed from Manoj) in debian/rule: build: [...] dpkg -l libc6 gcc g++272 libg++272 libg++272-dev \ sgml-base sgml-data make dpkg-dev | \ awk '$$1 == "ii" { printf("%s-%s\n", $$2, $$3) }' > \ debian/buildinfo touch build .....A.
