Bug#498135: lintian: "build-depends-without-arch-dep ant" will normally be invalid
Package: lintian
Version: 1.24.4
Severity: minor
When run, gives the following:
$ lintian -IEi freeguide_0.10.7-1_i386.changes
I: freeguide source: build-depends-without-arch-dep ant
N:
N: The control file lists the given package in Build-Depends, but no
N: architecture-dependent packages are built. If all the packages built
N: are architecture-independent, the only packages that should be listed
N: in Build-Depends are those required to run the clean target (such as
N: debhelper if you use dh_clean). Other build dependencies should be
N: listed in Build-Depends-Indep instead.
N:
N: Refer to Debian Policy Manual section 7.7 (Relationships between
N: source and binary packages - Build-Depends, Build-Depends-Indep,
N: Build-Conflicts, Build-Conflicts-Indep) for details.
N:
In most circumstances where 'ant' is in Build-Depends, it will be used in the
clean target.
