please update the spec explicitly for the Build-Profiles attribute.
From my point of view, this is not good enough when people start
"thinking" about interpretations, see the thread at
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2025/11/msg00301.html
How about adding this in the Build-Profiles section after the first paragraph
using Simon's example:
The condition uses the same `restriction formula syntax <s-restrictions>` from
the ``Build-Depends`` field. In the following example, ``libglib2.0-tests`` is
only built if both ``noinsttest`` and ``nogir`` are not enabled:
::
# Build if (!noinsttest) && (!nogir)
Package: libglib2.0-tests
Build-Profiles: <!noinsttest !nogir>
What do you think?
it's a start. But please see the more complete examples posted by Simon
Vittie.
Do you also agree that the syntax that I used is wrong, and should be
rejected?
