Bug#900774: opendkim
Hi,
due to this RFA, missing hardening flags and a recent systemd warning
about a deprecated /var/run path, I started
to try out an own packaging update at
https://salsa.debian.org/cgzones-guest/opendkim.
I have some questions:
1.
Why do the -dev packages depend on the binary ones (e.g.: libvbr-dev
on libvbr2)?
2.
Lintian warns about missing cross-compile support:
W: librbl-dev: pkg-config-unavailable-for-cross-compilation
usr/lib/pkgconfig/rbl.pc
W: libvbr-dev: pkg-config-unavailable-for-cross-compilation
usr/lib/pkgconfig/vbr.pc
W: libopendkim-dev: pkg-config-unavailable-for-cross-compilation
usr/lib/pkgconfig/opendkim.pc
My experiences with packaging libraries is limited, so any advice
how to fix this?

dh_installsystemd prints several lines on building:
dh_installsystemd: package opendkim@ is not in control info
dh_installsystemd: package opendkim-tools@ is not in control info
dh_installsystemd: package libopendkim11@ is not in control info
dh_installsystemd: package libopendkim-dev@ is not in control info
dh_installsystemd: package libvbr2@ is not in control info
dh_installsystemd: package libvbr-dev@ is not in control info
dh_installsystemd: package librbl1@ is not in control info
dh_installsystemd: package librbl-dev@ is not in control info
Any ideas what that's about?

dpkg-shlibdeps complains about unnecessary dependencies although the
corresponding link flags should be enabled.

Maybe some link flag propagation missing in the upstream Makefiles?

dpkg-gencontrol prints several lines on building:
dpkg-gencontrol: warning: package opendkim-tools: unused substitution
variable ${perl:Depends}
dpkg-gencontrol: warning: package opendkim-tools: unused substitution

There seemed to be no (active) ${perl:Depends} in debian/control?
However the beta version runs fine for me.
