Bug#528003: lintian: build-depends-without-arch-dep should ignore debian patch systems
Package: lintian
Version: 2.2.10
Severity: normal
Hi,
Lintian produces this informational point:
I: build-depends-without-arch-dep quilt
And explains that the only packages that should be listed in the
Build-Depends are those needed to run the clean target, like
debhelper. Unless I am missing something, quilt or dpatch will always
need to be run in the clean target to unpatch the source. Therefore, I
think that quilt (and presumably dpatch) should be added to the
shortlist of packages that do not trigger this warning.
Regards,
Daniel
