Re: Intended use of ${maven:CompileDepends}



Hi Sebastiaan,

What's the intended use of the ${maven:CompileDepends} substvar?

It shouldn't be added to Depends nor Built-Using. The dpkg-gencontrol warning makes it very tempting to add it to Depends as some package in the archive have incorrectly done.

I've resorted to stripping it from the generated substvars file before dh_gencontrol to get rid of the warning, but it seems better to do this in maven-debian-helper.

I'll have to check but I think the intended use of ${maven:CompileDepends} is for packaging parent poms, in this case you want the plugin dependencies to appear in the Depends field of the package.
