Yes. That's the theory. Now let's figure out how packages end up depending on it. For a lot of packages the chain goes like this: Source: ... Build-Depends: dh-sequence-ruby Package: gem2deb Provides: dh-sequence-ruby Depends: gem2deb-test-runner Package: gem2deb-test-runner Depends: ruby-minitest Package: ruby-minitest Architecture: all Multi-Arch: no In this chain, the only dependency that could be annotated <!nocheck> is dh-sequence-ruby, because build profiles cannot be applied to runtime dependencies. (They can in the source control template, but they're fully evaluated once the package is built.) > On the other hand, I see 130+ packages that build-depend on > ruby-minitest, so maybe doing this could be a shortcut. And that's how you get this big number. > Can you ellaborate on the context in which this was necessary in Ubuntu? This is not just Ubuntu being affected. It is Debian proper. As such I appreciate a solution for trixie as it also affects packages in the cross bootstrap set. We have two ways of fixing this. One is moving forward with Multi-Arch: foreign here (which I think is harmless as long as ruby-minitest remains a pure ruby module without dependencies of its own) or we break the aforementioned dependency chain at some point. For instance, gem2deb could stop depending on gem2deb-test-runner and packages wanting to run tests could Build-Depends on something like dh-sequence-ruby-test <!nocheck>. I don't think this approach would be suitable for trixie though. Helmut
