OK, that's new for me. Although it's still not in the Debian policy, but that's understandable. I'm reopening the bug, but with wishlist severity. > In any case, I added logic to the earlier patch to ship qconfig.h in > this arch-specific directory.

You should test your patches before submitting them, indeed. Anyway, this is still incomplete. You are only mangling pkgconfig files and you also need to fix cmake's ones. The correct approach here would be to patch qtbase to generate appropiate headers, pc and cmake files at build time. And then ask upstream if they are OK with it, even if it needs to be a patch only applied in Debian/Ubuntu. No patching will happen without upstream's OK. In the meantime there will be no fixes to this. So if you want this to happen, please propose patches upstream. Feel free to add me as reviewer in gerrit's commits. Kinds regards, Lisandro. -- If for every rule there is an exception, then we have established that there is an exception to every rule. If we accept "For every rule there is an exception" as a rule, then we must concede that there may not be an exception after all, since the rule states that there is always the possibility of exception, and if we follow it to its logical end we must agree that there can be an exception to the rule that for every rule there is an exception.
