Bug#1061133: libsoup3: Build profiles don't actually work

[John Paul Adrian Glaubitz]

Source: libsoup3
Version: 3.4.4-2
Severity: normal

Hello,

I was just trying to bootstrap libsoup3 for sh4 using build profiles.

Unfortunately, that doesn't work since it seems that specifying multiple
build profiles for a build dependency means that the build dependency is
removed only if all of the specified profiles are activated.

Thus, in order to strip "libapache2-mod-php" from the build dependencies,
one has to pass "--profile=nocheck,noinsttest" to sbuild, otherwise the
libapache2-mod-php build dependency is still pulled in.

This, however, means that that the "nocheck" profile has to be there to
boostreap libsoup3 which deactivates "libgnutls28-dev" which makes the
build fail since this build dependency is mandatory.

Not sure if it's actually a bug in apt which handles multiple profiles
per build dependency other than one would expect.

Adrian
