Yes, "gaim" is the source package. To produce a "gaim-meanwhile" binary package in addition to a "gaim" binary package, the "gaim" source package would need to have "Build-Depends: libmeanwhile". libmeanwhile (or whatever it's called) is in universe, and packages in main can't depend on packages in universe, so if that includes Build-Depends (which I bet it does), then separating the packages doesn't help.
I was referring to have the same source tarball (gaim-2.0.0beta3.1) be used by two source packages ("gaim" and "gaim-meanwhile") which would produce two binary packages (of the same names, respectively). -- gaim 2.0 missing Sametime protocol https://launchpad.net/bugs/58129 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
