Bug#757760: debian-policy: please document build profiles

[Johannes Schauer <j.schauer@email.de>]

Package: debian-policy
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

please document the new Build-Depends syntax and fields for build
profiles. The current write-up of the new syntax and fields for build
profiles lives at https://wiki.debian.org/BuildProfileSpec

Please note, that the new Build-Depends syntax element is called
"restriction list" and can be used for more than build profiles. So
documenting the new restriction list syntax and how build profiles use
it are probably two distinct topics to cover.

Please help discussing this feature so that it can become policy.

A list of software which implements it is listed in the wiki link above
and they are all part of jessie/testing already.

cheers, josch
