Package: src:linux-tools
Version: 4.2-2
User: sanvila@debian.org
Usertags: binary-indep
Severity: important

Dear maintainer:

I tried to build this package with "dpkg-buildpackage -A"
(i.e. only architecture-independent packages), and it failed:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[...]
 fakeroot debian/rules binary-indep
dh_testdir
 dpkg-genchanges -A >../linux-tools_4.2-2_all.changes
dpkg-genchanges: error: binary build with no binary artifacts found; cannot distribute
dpkg-buildpackage: error: dpkg-genchanges gave error exit status 2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This usually happens because there is a binary-indep target in debian/rules
which is either empty or does not do anything useful.

If all the arch-independent packages are dummy transitional packages released with jessie,
the easy fix is to drop them now. If not, debian/rules should be modified so that the
binary-indep target generates the architecture independent packages (and only those).

After checking that both "dpkg-buildpackage -A" and "dpkg-buildpackage -B" work
properly, this package will be suitable to be uploaded in source-only form if you wish
(I recommend that you try it).

Thanks.

I already found this and it's fixed in experimental.
