Hello,

Okay.

I’ve looked at what you did. It indeed does the job, and that’s the
basic idea to use, debhelper’s -N. A bit more idiomatic code is:
| NO_JAVA_ARCHES := arm hppa hurd-i386
| DEB_HOST_ARCH ?= $(shell dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_ARCH)
|
| ifeq (,$(filter $(DEB_HOST_ARCH),$(NO_JAVA_ARCHES)))
| ENABLE_JAVA := --enable-java
| else
| export DH_OPTIONS=-Nlibidn11-java
| endif
And then, you can lose all the $(DH_NO_JAVA) part when calling the dh_
commands, because debhelper picks it up via DH_OPTIONS from the
environment.
Anyway, your version worked, as you can see in:
http://buildd.ayous.org/fetch.php?&pkg=libidn&ver=1.14-2&arch=hppa&stamp=1239910858&file=log&as=raw
You can see in the resulting .changes file that the libidn11-java
package was not built.

No, you don’t need P-a-s.

Sure. :-)
Thanks for your work,
