Wouldn't the user override work for you in this case? If you're doing archive-wide test builds overriding any package settings, that seems to me to be exactly the same case as a user overriding all package settings to force a particular set of build flags and you could do this with the same mechanism. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-policy-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
