No, the packages themselves would include such logic in their debian/rules. There's no way we'd want to keep buildds in sync with what the set of core packages is. And, besides, libc6.deb is core, but is libc6-dev? Or it's documentation? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
