Build-Depends vs. Build-Depends-Indep

[Cord Beermann <debian@cord.de>]

Hi.

When should i use 'Build-Depends-Indep' instead of 'Build-Depends'?

should Build-Depends-Indep be used for Dependencies on
*_all.deb-Packages, or for Dependencies which were the same on all
Debian-Architectures?

Example:

should i set:

Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 2), libncurses-dev, xlib6g-dev
	[!hurd-i386], xviewg-dev [!hurd-i386], groff

or:

Build-Depends-Indep: debhelper (>= 2), libncurses-dev, xlib6g-dev, groff
Build-Depends: xlib6g-dev [!hurd-i386], xviewg-dev [!hurd-i386]

?

thanks,
	Cord
