Bug#399754: FTBFS: Can not require network during build

[Goswin Brederlow <brederlo@informatik.uni-tuebingen.de>]

Package: debian-edu
Version: 0.812
Severity: serious
Justification: no longer builds from source

Hi,

when building debian-edu I get

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/formorer/build/debian-edu_0.812/debian-edu-0.812'
./gen-control -s ./sources.list.terra -t > debian-edu-tasks.desc.new && mv debian-edu-tasks.desc.new debian-edu-tasks.desc

A package MUST not require resources outside of the buildd. How could
the security team release a new version if the external resources are
dead? How can a build be reproduced if the external resource changes
contents?
