[gregor herrmann]

Control: clone -1 -2
Control: reassign -2 src:libzeep 5.0.0-1
Control: retitle -2 "src:libzeep: override targets never called"

This sounds very plausible to me after a quick check:


For arch-dependent packages:

% dh binary --no-act -a | grep configure
   debian/rules override_dh_auto_configure

For arch-independent packages:

% dh binary --no-act -i | grep configure 
   debian/rules override_dh_auto_configure


I.e. both override_dh_auto_configure-arch and
override_dh_auto_configure-indep are never called.

(The's also what the build logs show. Only
override_dh_auto_configure.)


With the following change

this looks much better:


% dh binary --no-act -a | grep configure
   debian/rules override_dh_auto_configure-arch

% dh binary --no-act -i | grep configure 
   debian/rules override_dh_auto_configure-indep


Not sure which combination of flags in which override target is
actually needed/useful. Maybe the following also works:

Cloning/reassigning. mrs should probably build-depend on a fixed
libzeep afterwards.
