Or rather, it is... kinda. You can have your source package generate two sets of .debs depending on how it is built, but you must upload it twice, with different names (and building different sets of debs by default) to every section. See the fetchmail and fetchmail-ssl source packages for an example. fetchmail-ssl is an automated transform of the fetchmail source package, triggered by "make debian/rules select-ssl". You gain nothing in upload time, but it certains give you less hassle to only have one single source tree in CVS, for example. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
