Hmm I took the idéa from the previous java-common maintainer so that is why I thought it was valid... And I have got quite a lot of suggestions in bug-reports (do not remember if it is from other maintainers) so maybe such a check is a good thing. I would not be too surprised if it is a quite common thing in documentation packages and "native" debian packages. Other checks can be build-dependencies of lynx, omt, ftp and other similar packages. Build dependencies of cvs is maybe a good check too. I've seen it before with other packages. > Besides, it COULD be valid to do a cvs co via another make rule in the rules > file, as long as it is not called by dpkg-buildpackage. Of course. Maybe I should make a rules update section that does just this. That is actually quite a good idea and a solution to the problem.
