Bug#819181: RFS: cl-asdf/3.1.7 - Another System Definition Facility
Hi,

how? I would suggest to patch the upstream make clean to not change source files.
(note: I'm *suggesting* stuff without looking at the code, I don't know
about the build system, feel free to disagree)

debian has two kind of builds: all and any.
packages needed for the arch-i packages (resulting in an _all.deb) can go in b-d-i
while the others needs to go in b-d.
an example is doxygen, used for the common -doc package (arch:all), so you can have it
in build-depends-indep at one condition:
you will override the dh_auto_build-indep: target to build the doxygen documentation.
overriding e.g. dh_auto_build: will trigger a "file not found" exception while building on
a common architecture, where b-d-i aren't installed.
(the reason is exactly to avoid Porters to have too many dependencies for their porting work).
So, if quilt is used in target called by -arch and -indep steps, it will go in b-d
dpkg-buildpackage -A
dpkg-buildpackage -B
should work both (and try to remove quilt and see if the arch:any gets built correctly).
cheers,
G.
