Package: devscripts
Version: 2.10.71
Severity: wishlist
I just realized mk-build-deps has the very useful -i option. However,
this requires mk-build-deps to run as root. Since generating the
build-deps package without installing it makes little sense, I aliased
mk-build-deps to 'mk-build-deps -i -r'. However, this fails because it
needs root privileges and the aliasing doesn't work under sudo.
Please add an option to make mk-build-deps automatically gain root
privileges. A patch is attached.
