Both ways are workarounds indeed as sbuild should just call build-arch when it exists but it does not. This has been discussed before, see for instance the some code in cdbs [1] and some threads on the lists [2,3] My work around is to only build the arch-dependent part in build (yes, this does not follow the letter of the policy but is done before) and only build the arch independent part when binary-indep is called. Your workaround is to include all the build dependencies for the architecture independent parts in the Build-Depends as well so both parts are build in the build target. I think both are equivalent but I prefer the former as it keeps the build daemon from building and installing unnecessary stuff. The second way is more policy compliant but makes Build-Depends-Indep worthless as the architecture independent parts are build time and time again. Best would be to fix sbuild, but without that I prefer the first option. Greetings Arjan Oosting p.s. I hope I did not sound to harsh in my previous mail; I did not intend to be at least. [1] part of /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/buildcore.mk # This is a required Debian target; however, its specific semantics is # in dispute. We are of the opinion that 'build' should invoke # build-arch and build-indep. Policy tends to support us here. # However, dpkg-buildpackage is currently invokes debian/rules build # even when doing an architecture-specific (binary-arch) build. This # essentially means Build-Depends-Indep is worthless. For more # information, see Policy §5.2, Policy §7.6, and Debian Bug #178809. # For now, you may override the dependencies by setting the variable # DEB_BUILD_DEPENDENCIES, below. This is not recommended.
