Even if it might seem so, it's really not like those substvars, because the values to put into Built-Using cannot be easily computed automatically (if at all). See previous discussion in #653575. > The differences are: > 1.) we are talking about static libraries rather than shared libraries Which cannot be reliably inferred from stripped binaries, in contrast to shared libraries. > 2.) we need the source package rather than the binary package. Which can already be easily retrieved through the dpkg-query source:Package and source:Version virtual fields. As such, I'm going to be closing this request if there's no additional feedback proposing a workable and elegant solution to this. thanks, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
