We know that these are used in every binary, so the day they break we will have to rebuild all the archive anyway, no need to use Built-Using there. The use case of Built-Using is to be able to rebuild packages which are linked against most of the libc, if the libc is know to be broken. This has been the case recently with bug#754813, which completely broke cdebootstrap-static (among other packages). I had to go for a manual search in the archive to find packages which need to be binNMUed. So please implement that, or just drop the static version of cdebootstrap. -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 4096R/1DDD8C9B aurel...@aurel32.net http://www.aurel32.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
