Source dependencies: are we ready?
Just a question which I haven't thoroughly investigated yet:
I'm about to add #41232 (source dependencies) to the next policy
version. But will this break existing tools? In particular, will the
dpkg* tools yet be able to build a package using a Source-Depends:
field, or will they die? If the latter, then we need a dpkg NMU
(Wichert? Ben?) before this can be placed in policy.
