Source: devscripts Version: 2.17.9 Severity: wishlist On my current attempt to bootstrap Debian, I'm currently stuck on devscripts' build dependencies on libgit-wrapper-perl, mozilla-devscripts, and pylint because of cycles such as:
devscripts Build-Depends on libgit-wrapper-perl libgit-wrapper-perl Depends on git git Build-Depends on cvs cvs Build-Depends on ghostscript ghostscript Build-Depends on libijs-dev ijs Build-Depends on devscripts It would be nice if it would be possible to build with either a stage1 or nocheck build profile to have the syntax checks in the build process disabled, so that the source package could be bootstrapped with at least the three build dependencies mentioned above being unavailable. -- Daniel Schepler
