Package: wine-development
Version: 3.17-1
Severity: normal

Hi Mike,

in the recent uploads you re-sorted the dependencies in d/control.in
once again.  Each time this happens this takes some of my time when I
sync the src:wine packaging, or dig into issues that exist only in one
of our or other packages (upstream, downstream, other versions, ...).
Further it obfuscates packaging changes[1] and has potential for
copy&paste errors.

To avoid these issues I suggest to use

  wrap-and-sort --wrap-always --short-indent --trailing-comma

which will keep the general layout intact, but sorts the entries
alphabetically.  You objected this change some years ago, but we didn't
discuss it in depth back then.  Hopefully I could change your mind this
time.

[1] This time I just noticed you replaced the builddep "fontforge-nox |
fontforge" with "fontforge-nox".  This reverts something I did on
purpose when I implemented the font-rebuilding, so that for local
rebuilds fontforge-nox doesn't get pulled in unnecessarily if fontforge
is already installed.
