Package: texmacs
Version: 1:1.0.7.16-1
Severity: serious
Tags: patch
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)

In Ubuntu, the attached patch was applied to achieve the following:
* Make debian/fixsh operate on debian/texmacs instead of debian/tmp,
and move it to binary-post-install/texmacs:: to keep consistency
when not building arch-indep packages, as on the Dbeian buildds.
* Remove maxima_filter in clean to fix FTBFS on on non-i386 arches.
So, there are three distinct bugs here, only two of which I address
with this patch:
1) When building without arch-indep (dpkg-buildpackage -B, instead of
dpkg-buildpackage -b), debian/fixsh doesn't trigger. The top
changelog entry addresses that and fixes cross-arch consistency.
2) You're trying to ship an i386 binary on all arches, which causes
an FTBFS (quite rightly so), the clean addition fixes that, BUT:
3) The i386 binary in question is a binary compiled from sources
that no longer ship (the maxima_filter sources and Makefile were
removed upstream, but they left the binary cruft in their tarball,
it looks like). Either you should repack your source as a dfsg
orig tarball (as shipping a binary without source doesn't meet the
DFSG), or you should talk your upstream into dropping the stray
binary and re-releasing a 1.0.7.16.0 or something, so you can
package that instead.
