Package: kwave
Severity: wishlist
User: debian-devel at lists.debian.org
Usertags: linux-any
The debian/control file in kwave uses a negated list of architectures
to specify a package relationship (most likely Build-Depends) on a
Linux-specific package. I.e. something like:
Build-Depends: libfoo-dev [!kfreebsd-i386 !kfreebsd-amd64 !hurd-i386]
This is problematic because it will fail for any future kfreebsd-* or hurd-*
architecture (like the upcoming kfreebsd-mipsel port). The correct way
would be to use dpkg architecture wildcards, e.g.:
Build-Depends: libfoo-dev [linux-any]
Please consider making this adjustment to make life easier for future
porting efforts.
Thanks!
