Policy says the Binary: header should list all packages that _could_ be build (but not necessarily are, for example, the xfree86 source package lists xserver-xfree86, but it isn't build on s390). So, you should make the clean target to put in debian/control the union of packages that are build across all archs with this meta-package, and then all is fine. --Jeroen -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also for Jabber & MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl
