[pkg-netfilter-team] Bug#1043268: libnetfilter-conntrack: please disable documentation build when not building libnetfilter-conntrack-doc

[Simon McVittie]

Source: libnetfilter-conntrack
Version: 1.0.9-3
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-riscv at lists.debian.org

The riscv64 port is currently being bootstrapped, and I noticed that
packages like gtk4 are currently unbuildable because they are waiting
for src:systemd. Looking at the dependency chain for src:systemd,
it indirectly depends on libnetfilter-conntrack, which is currently
unbuildable because of a long dependency chain starting with graphviz
(and ending at abseil, which takes a long time to build on riscv64 and
failed several times with timeouts).

libnetfilter-conntrack only needs graphviz (and doxygen) for its API
documentation, so an easy way to break this dependency chain would be
for libnetfilter-conntrack to only build its API documentation when
"Architecture: all" packages are being built. A side benefit is that
this would make official builds by the buildds a bit faster.

Please consider applying the attached patch, with the "Closes" line
amended to mention this bug report's bug number. I used diffoscope to
confirm that this change does not alter the contents of either the _amd64
or _all binary packages.

Thanks,
