[Christian PERRIER]

Nicolas, we're concerned by this planned MBF.

Subject: massive bug report to replace "!kfreebsd-i386 !kfreebsd-amd64 !hurd-i386" kludges with dpkg wildcards
X-Mailing-List: <debian-devel at lists.debian.org> archive/latest/273876
X-CRM114-Status: Good  ( pR: 31.4643 )

Title and template description (below) is self-explanatory.  156
packages are affected (list is attached).

Package: %package%
Severity: wishlist
User: debian-bsd at lists.debian.org
Usertags: kfreebsd

The debian/control file in %package% 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.
