I'm packaging this to allow Python to build its Windows executables,
and also to test Colin Watson's idea of using apt-get during builds
in lieu of full-blown source build-dependencies.
You can't do that. Packages must mot access outside world at the
build time.
This is not enforced yet, though,
It's now enforced in pbuilder. Also in Jakub's sbuild. :-P
I believe that it's indeed not enforced on buildds, which is a shame.
and might actually be different if we are talking about mirror
accesses. For instance d-i also builds that way if I don't misremember.
(Specifying a fallback mirror, though, I guess, which then requires
proper internets.)
Just look at this beautiful code:
http://sources.debian.net/src/debian-installer/20140802/build/util/gen-sources.list.udeb/
(Just kidding. It's not beautiful. Don't even try reading it without
having large amounts of eyebleach in reserve.)
So yeah, d-i can't be built automatically without access to a mirror.
Which is a bug, and not an easy one to fix.
Let's admit for the moment that d-i is spethial, and don't use it as
excuse for introducing more such weirdness into the archive.
