Package: dh-strip-nondeterminism Version: 0.013-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
dh_strip_nondeterminism is now called by default in "dh $@" style debhelper packages. Unfortunately, the default behaviour will strip crypto signing from libraries, which is required for them to be installed in a systemwide location - as such, this breaks installation of any library packages rebuilt since dh_strip_nondeterminism became a default command. I appreciate the intention of the tool, but it would be extremely useful if it could skip files of type "PE32 executable (console) Intel 80386 Mono/.Net assembly, for MS Windows", certainly if they contain a StrongName signature. The issue with determinism is a short-term issue anyway - libraries built with Mono 4.0+ (as found in Experimental) are deterministic, but this issue has set back my efforts on that transition considerably. I now need to do fifty sourceful uploads with "override_dh_strip_nondeterminism" stanzas added. ------------ root@marceline:/tmp# sn -k hellokey.snk Mono StrongName - version 3.2.8.0 StrongName utility for signing assemblies Copyright 2002, 2003 Motus Technologies.
