Hi, I was just passing by and noticed this: Christoph Biedl schrob: > It might be an interesting topic whether "Not needed packages installed > in the build system trigger a build error" should be considered a bug -
Yes, that's a bug. Ideally, building should succeed. Otherwise, there
should be a Build-Conflicts: against the interfering package(s).

As a user: no, that's not the idea. I value being able to occasionally
build patched debian packages locally on my machine, without having to
set up a "clean chroot" and the associated bandwidth/storage costs.
This has been treated as a valid use case in the past.
Cheers,
Jan
