AFAIUI, the Debian archive has "Sources" files which has the Build-* fields taken from a source package's .dsc file which in turn takes the Build-* fields from debian/control. So yes, those wildcards are for debian/control, but the Build-* fields ultimately end up in the "Sources" files in a Debian archive. -- Regards, Andres -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
