Which is wrong since we have build daemons AFAIK, maybe it's time to get corrected (policy list in Cc)? > I have just tried to build jetty 6.1.19-2 from source on an i686 using > cowbuilder[1] and it successfully builds - see attached log. Of course as it does not build with -B > This could be solved by throwing every Build-Depends-Indep into > Build-Depends - looking at #328951 it seems to be the solution[2]. Only when all of them are needed for building with -B. > [#7.7] Snippet of Policy 7.7: > "The Build-Depends-Indep and Build-Conflicts-Indep fields must be > satisfied when any of the following targets is invoked: build, > build-indep, binary and binary-indep." It's not used like that in practice and won't in the future AFAIK, so I think Policy should get fixed.
