OK, but we have many (not all) packages that have a "node-foo could be marked Multi-Arch: foreign" even if they are installed in /usr/share/nodejs and Perl packages don't have such "action needed" in tracker.d.o Looking at Perl practices, it seems that "architecture: all" packages uses only Build-Depends-Indep except for debhelper-compat So is this a way to improve multi-arch ? -- Pkg-javascript-devel mailing list Pkg-javascript-devel@alioth-lists.debian.net https://alioth-lists.debian.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-javascript-devel
