Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.16.4
Severity: normal
User: d...@packages.debian.org
Usertags: dpkg-shlibdeps

dpkg 1.16.4 introduced the Build-Depends-Arch field but dpkg-shlibdeps has
not been updated to deal with this field.

Build dependencies are sometimes scanned to find out minimal versions to
inject in binary package dependencies. Build-Depends-Indep are not scanned
because by definition a library dependency required to build an executable
can not be put there.

However Build-Depends-Arch can perfectly host such build dependencies and
thus dpkg-shlibdeps should be updated to scan them too.

Cheers,
