Package: tex-common Version: 6.15 Tags: patch A while ago, debhelper added a new way of enabling addons. Instead of writing "dh $@ --with tex", one can now add dh-sequence-tex to Build-Depends to achieve the same effect if dh-sequence-tex is provided by somthing. Doing so has two major advantages: * Instead of mentioning the tex addon twice (once via B-D: tex-common and once via --with tex), one can enable it in one place. * The dependency can be conditionalized using the usual mechanisms including Build-Depends-Indep (very relevant here) and build profiles.
The one missing piece to make this work is adding the provides. If possible, I recommend doing an upload with this change now, because the risk of breaking something is very low and having this change in bullseye will make backporting of packages that rely on the provides easier. I'm not sure whether the freeze policy allows including the change at this point in time. Please consider applying the attached patch. Helmut
