Hi,

Bug #837395 requests support for these fields in apt which dpkg has for a while
now – see there for details on why. It would be nice if we could get support
for this into stretch so that packages can eventually use it.
[...]
btw: If this patch isn't applied aptitude treats Build-Conflicts-Arch packages 
as
Build-Depends which means it is going to install those packages… not really
what we want it to do (apt unpatched + libapt support would do the same btw).

Thanks for consideration & Best regards

I am not taking this patch from an adversary (enemy?) of the Apt Inner
Circle lightly, but well, given the dates, let's consider it a
Christmas/Winter-Holidays present (or punishment)...  ;)


Cheers.
