Source: bitlbee
Version: 3.5.1-1
Severity: serious

Hello,

This source package's rules file does not build all the binary packages
listed in d/control unless special environment variable values are
present.  As a result, bin:skyped and bin:bitlbee-plugin-skype are not
in the archive.

This caused my source-only NMU of this package to be rejected, because
dak wanted to put it in binNEW because of skyped and
bitlbee-plugin-skype, but source-only uploads to binNEW are not allowed.

I think this is a bug of RC-severity because it is a highly irregular
use of the Debian source package format which is confusing to people
trying to do NMUs.  Perhaps the maintainer will disagree; a downgrade
of the severity of this bug would make sense if it turns out I'm not
aware of some workflow that not building all the binary packages by
default enables.
