Howdy all,
Which of the standard ‘debian/rules’ targets need their requirements
declared in “Build-Depends” (and “Build-Depends-Indep”)?
Policy §7.7 says:
Source packages that require certain binary packages to be installed
or absent at the time of building the package can declare
relationships to those binary packages.
This is done using the `Build-Depends', `Build-Depends-Indep',
`Build-Conflicts' and `Build-Conflicts-Indep' control fields.
What standard targets does this “at the time of building the package”
entail? The “test” target? The “get-orig-source” target? What official
set of standard targets obligate their requirements to be declared in
this field?
Note that I'm not looking for opinions about what would be a good idea;
I'm looking for how this policy section is interpreted for normative
behaviour.
