>From the sbuild POV, this would greatly simplify things, and make support for all architectures much more robust. Not having to hard code per-arch package lists and being able to handle it just like we currently handle build-essential would, IMO, be a Good Thing. If it were to use the same file format that build-essential uses, we would be able to reuse that. Regards, Roger -- .''`.
