The results of that build seem unlikely to ever be seriously tested currently, which makes me a little dubious that it's worth making a rule about it. Or, put another way, I'm not sure that this is substantially less controversial than just requiring debian/rules build rebuild everything from source. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
