Package: debian-policy
Version: 3.5.7.0
Severity: wishlist
This is basically an attempt to ratify the current practice of using
debhelper in the clean target. Currently, policy does not require
debhelper to be installed when the clean target is run, even though it
is in the build-depends field; dpkg-buildpackage checks the
build-dependencies first anyway, and I'm not aware of any other tools
which care at present.
`Build-Depends', `Build-Conflicts'
The `Build-Depends' and `Build-Conflicts' fields must be
satisfied when any of the following targets is invoked: `build',
- `binary', `binary-arch', `build-arch', `build-indep' and
+ `binary', `binary-arch', `clean', `build-arch', `build-indep' and
`binary-indep'.
`Build-Depends-Indep', `Build-Conflicts-Indep'
The `Build-Depends-Indep' and `Build-Conflicts-Indep' fields must
be satisfied when any of the following targets is invoked:
- `build', `build-indep', `binary' and `binary-indep'.
+ `build', `build-indep', `clean', `binary' and `binary-indep'.
