Package: dpkg-dev Version: 1.14.20 Severity: important Between 1.14.16 and 1.14.17, dpkg-source appears to have started omitting .a files from native V1.0 format packages even outside of the debian/ directory. I didn't see anything in the 1.14.17 changelog that suggests this is intentional, and I haven't found a workaround for it.
Here's an example to illustrate (mklibs chosen randomly): [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp$ dpkg -l dpkg dpkg-dev Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-==============-==============-============================================ ii dpkg 1.14.16 package maintenance system for Debian ii dpkg-dev 1.14.16 package building tools for Debian [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp$ apt-get source mklibs Reading package lists...
