Bug#1066832: fsverity-utils: hard Build-Depends on unportable package pandoc



Source: fsverity-utils
Version: 1.5-1.1
Severity: important
Justification: RC for Debian-Ports
X-Debbugs-Cc: tg@mirbsd.de, debian-ports@lists.debian.org

Recent versions of fsverity-utils (larger than 1.4-1~exp1 anyway)
have a Build-Depends-Arch on pandoc; however, pandoc is an extremely
unportable package written in a hard to port language.

Please split the package so that the part that requires pandoc is
done in an arch:all build. Normally, pandoc is needed only for
documentation, which is often easy enough to split off in a -doc
binary package, which can then move to B-D-Indep and be built on
amd64 or whatever hosts.

Thanks,
