Package: asa
Version: N/A; reported 2000-08-28
Severity: normal
*** explain.txt
I compiled all packages that have no "Build-Depends" in potato/main/Sources.gz.
Your package failed to build together with about 1700 other packages.
Since you have no "Build-Depends" you eigther forgot that your package
build-depends on something (like debhelper?) or you don't know about
build dependencies.
The releavnt fields are descibed in:
http://www.at.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/packaging.html/ch-relationships.html#s8.7
Please add build dependencies to your package or correct what ever else
caused the package not to build. If you already did so for woody, please
just close this bug report. If your Package is one of the rare cases with
a Build-Depends-Indep and I overlooked it, also please just close.
May the Source be with you.

Oh, come off it! section 8.7 of the packaging manual says "may" in
reference to build-depends, so not doing so cannot be a bug. Also, to
expect everyone to state a build dependancy on debhelper is
ridiculous! You can't reasonably expect to auto-build packages without
having it available. I'm therefore closing this bug.
I fail to see what this whole process of filing bugs against every
package without a Build-Depends: debhelper is meant to achieve, other
than filling the bts with garbage...
