What am I missing? FWIW, I observe a similar happening with octave2.9. The Build-Depends haven't change significantly, but all of a sudden, atlas is coming in: Without Atlas on Sparc: http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?&pkg=octave2.9&ver=1%3A2.9.17-1&arch=sparc&stamp=1195174810&file=log With Atlas on Sparc: http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?&pkg=octave2.9&ver=1%3A2.9.19-1&arch=sparc&stamp=1197772112&file=log Thanks.
