Package: cdbs Version: 0.4.53 Severity: grave
Coin,Until 2008-03-17, at least, DEB_PYTHON_MODULE_PACKAGE was always defined with the following code: DEB_PYTHON_MODULE_PACKAGE = $(firstword $(filter-out %-doc %-dev %-common, $(DEB_PACKAGES)))
and is now unset by default.I didn't find anything documenting this changes in the changelog or NEWS.Debian. This is problematic, as this breaks packages relying on this variable in the build rules, like in the 'balazar' package:
build/$(DEB_PYTHON_MODULE_PACKAGE):: $(MANPAGES) Several package then FTBFS, thus the severity of this bug.It seems the 'cdbs_python_packages' variable could replace it, but the plural in the name suggest it would not.
We could perhaps raise this problem on the mailing-list before changing or reverting the behavior again.
Regards.P.S: i just checked the package in Lenny (0.4.52), before sending this mail, and it is happily not affected.
