Bug#485956: Errata - resetting severity

He just can't get it to work with his command line. Please explain why this makes the bug serious? Where does it state in the policy that -*that*- exact command-line must be supported? Jon Well, You're supposed to know that, and it's so easy to find you should be ashamed to ask. Though it's in policy §4.9 [0], I quote the relevant bits: build The build target must not do anything that might require root privilege. build-arch (optional), build-indep (optional) The build-arch and build-indep targets must not do anything that might require root privilege. binary, binary-arch, binary-indep The binary targets must be invoked as root.[23] clean The clean target may need to be invoked as root if binary has been invoked since the last clean, or if build has been invoked as root (since build may create directories, for example). IOW fakeroot must not be used for anything else than the binary* and clean targets. *FULL STOP*. Anything else is buggy, whatever command you're using. IOW, building a debian package this way: $ dpkg-source -x foo.dsc $ cd foo*/ $ ./debian/rules build $ fakeroot debian/rules binary $ fakeroot debian/rules clean *must* be supported no matter what. FWIW this is Debian Packaging 101.

Try those commands you sent in the email, and they will work. Period.
That's MY point.

Bug#485956: Errata - resetting severity
severity 485956 minor thanks Actually, I disagree. This is not a serious bug, and will build with the standard Debian tools, including the autobuilder. It doesn't work using the command you have chosen for it, but there is nowhere in the policy you referred to that states that specific command must be supported. I am not closing the bug, but it is not a serious bug. If you disagree further, I suggest you try a remedy other than changing the severity again, as I will simply change it back. Cheers!

The package fails to build with standard Debian tools, called in their standard ways, and violates a policy MUST.
