Bug#41232: debian-policy: [PROPOSAL] Build-time dependencies on binary packages

[Joel Klecker <jk@espy.org>]

I just realized I have to object to this proposal on the grounds that 
it doesn't allow me to correctly specify glibc's source depends.
I need them conditional on DEB_HOST_GNU_SYSTEM, e.g. for Linux-based 
GNU systems I need to depend on kernel-headers-<version>, for 
HURD-based GNU systems I need hurd-dev and gnumach-dev (at least, I 
think I do).
I'm not sure how many other packages might need conditional source 
depends, this could be a specialized requirement.
