It seems to be premature to add build profiles to packages, as the initially proposed implementation (separate fields) has been vetoed in favor of one that requires extending the syntax of Build-Depends in a way that will take time for our parsers to catch up to. (Indeed, AFAIK none of the parsers of Build-Depends currently in the archive currently support the new proposed syntax.) -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
