Problem: I have a package that might depend on a libfoo-dev library.
"might" because it tries to detect it at configure time, and if the
libfoo is found some features are enabled, otherwise the features are
disabled.
Since the libfoo isn't build on every architecture, I would like to
have some field in my control file, like "try to install it, if not
found just discard it",
[...]
is something similar already implemented?
You can (sort of) implement it already. Create binary package
maybe-libfoo-dev that depends on "libfoo-dev | dpkg". Then build-depend
on this maybe-libfoo-dev.
It's a terrible idea, but it could be done.
