Bug#819660: explicitly allow building automatic debug symbols packages not listed in control



Hello, and thanks for the super fast reply.

Bill Allombert, 2016-03-31 18:42+0200:
The Policy implicitly indicates a source package should only build
binary packages listed in debian/control. At least, this is how
ftpmaster interprets §5.2, 5.4 and 5.6.19, when you look at the Reject
FAQ <https://ftp-master.debian.org/REJECT-FAQ.html> (search for
“debian/control breakage #2”).

Well, historically, this is the FTP masters that asked for this
rule.

Now, this is quite not compatible with the new debug symbol packages
<https://wiki.debian.org/AutomaticDebugPackages> that are now
automatically created.

Are the FTP masters happy with that ?

Not sure, I guess they should be as it is all the point of these automatic debug packages, but I will ask them.
