Bug#1109992: lintian: symbols-file-missing-build-depends-package-field ignores Build-Depends-Packages
Package: lintian
Version: 2.122.0
Hi,
I've inherited a package which uses Build-Depends-Packages in its
symbols files. Per deb-symbols(5):
Build-Depends-Packages
The same as Build-Depends-Package but accepts a comma-separated
list of package names (since dpkg 1.20.0). This field will
override any Build-Depends-Package field present, and is mostly
useful with “-dev” packages and metapackages depending on these, say
for a transition period.
So I'd say symbols-file-missing-build-depends-package-field should
not be emitted when Build-Depends-Packages is present.
Thanks,
Chris
