Hi Ivo, I'd (strongly) vote for simply droping this useless depends. If I would have been your sponsor I have worked out together with you solving these issues:
$ lintian libsbml_5.2.0-1.dsc W: libsbml source: package-depends-on-hardcoded-libc libsbml5-octave depends W: libsbml source: debhelper-but-no-misc-depends libsbml5-dbg W: libsbml source: debhelper-but-no-misc-depends libsbml5-dev W: libsbml source: debian-rules-missing-recommended-target build-arch W: libsbml source: debian-rules-missing-recommended-target build-indep Hints: Line 1: Solving this solves this bug Line 2+3: Try `lintian -i libsbml_5.2.0-1.dsc` to get hints if unsure what to do Line 4+5: I usually recommend to use short dh syntax which cares for *a* *lot* of your manual tweaking including fixing the two lintian problems. Feel free to ask on list for further advise if you have no idea what to do. Further hints about handling config.status + config.guess: Packages autotools-dev + dh-autoreconf are your friend (example usage is for instance in package exonerate in SVN) Kind regards and please do not hesitate to ask on the list in case you might need any help. Kind regards Andreas. On Mon, Feb 13, 2012 at 08:56:47PM +0000, Adam D.
