Bug#245808: glibc: binary-all package built in binary-arch rules target

["Christian T. Steigies" <cts@debian.org>]

Package: glibc
Severity: normal

This source package apparently builds all of the binary packages in the 
binary-arch target of debian/rules, even though at least one binary package 
is architecture independent. That's wrong.

The practical impact is that autobuilder maintainers get to manually clean 
up the _all.deb packages every time your package is uploaded.

buildd@aahz:~>ll build/*2.3.2*
-rw-r--r--    1 buildd   buildd    3838334 Apr 25 12:15 build/glibc-doc_2.3.2.ds1-12_all.deb
-rw-r--r--    1 buildd   buildd    3981720 Apr 25 12:26 build/locales_2.3.2.ds1-12_all.deb

Please fix this when you get a chance.  

Any architecture "all" binary packages should be built by the binary-indep 
target in debian/rules.  If you're using debhelper, read about the -a and -i 
options, and if you have dh-make installed, a good example rules file is 
available in the /usr/share/debhelper/dh_make/debian directory.

Thanks,
Christian
