Package: python-empy
Version: 3.3.2-1
Tags: patch
User: helm...@debian.org
Usertags: rebootstrap
Control: affects -1 + src:sugar-artwork
sugar-artwork cannot be cross built, because its dependency on
python-empy is unsatisfiable. In general, Architecture: all packages can
never satisfy cross Build-Depends unless marked Multi-Arch: foreign. In
this case, all dependencies are already annotated :any except for the
explicit ones, but those should be dropped in favour of
${python*:Depends}. The maintainer scripts produce byte compiled .pyc
files, which are architecture-dependent, but their architecture matches
that of the installed python interpreter. Even foreign embedded
interpreters (very rare use case) work with a little startup penalty
(compiling modules every time). Thus the Multi-Arch: foreign marking
looks like a reasonable tradeoff. Please consider applying the attached
patch.
