Bug#561828: debian-policy: add restriction for non arch all packages
Package: debian-policy
Version: 3.8.3.0
Severity: wishlist
currently section 5.6.8 doesn't say when a package should be in arch
all except when source package is arch all (which in turn gives the same
argument).
I think following statement should be added: "If the content of a
package is architeture independent in relation to it's particular use,
then the package must have architecture 'all'".
