| | I read your policy in a way that these things must be fulfilled on
| | all architectures.
|
| And they are: The package does not declare a dependency on a non-main
| package.
|
| If your interpretation was indeed the one to use, we should change the
| wording of policy into the following:
|
| | thus, the package must not declare a "Depends", "Recommends", or
| | "Build-Depends" relationship on a non-main or non-existing package
I withdraw my argument: I was blindly looking at the example instead of
the actual rule.
