Then maintainers: a) will have an incentive to add build profiles to their source packages containing cyclic build dependencies b) can do source-only uploads because building the source packages in the right order with the right build profiles activated will break build dependency cycles without manual injection of pre-compiled binaries Thanks! cheers, josch
