Dear maintainer: I tried to build this package with "dpkg-buildpackage -A" (i.e. only architecture-independent packages), and it failed: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [...] debian/rules build-indep dh build-indep --with autoreconf --parallel dh_testdir -i -O--parallel dh_autoreconf -i -O--parallel libtoolize: putting auxiliary files in `.'. libtoolize: copying file `./ltmain.sh' libtoolize: putting macros in AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR, `m4'. libtoolize: copying file `m4/libtool.m4' libtoolize: copying file `m4/ltoptions.m4' libtoolize: copying file `m4/ltsugar.m4' libtoolize: copying file `m4/ltversion.m4' libtoolize: copying file `m4/lt~obsolete.m4' [... snipped ...] | | | Before using netCDF to store important data, test your | | build with "make check". | | | | NetCDF is tested nightly on many platforms at Unidata | | but your platform is probably different in some ways. | | | | If any tests fail, please see the netCDF web site: | | http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/ | | | | NetCDF is developed and maintained at the Unidata Program | | Center.

The common hints are: * If the only architecture-independent packages are dummy transitional ones and they were released with jessie, the easy fix is to drop them now. * When using "dh", it is allowed to use (independently) optional targets override_dh_foo-arch and override_dh_foo-indep (for several values of "foo"). Once that both "dpkg-buildpackage -A" and "dpkg-buildpackage -B" work properly, the package would be suitable to be uploaded in source-only form if you wish. Thanks.
