In your NMU of pam 1.1.8-3.4, you moved the xsl build dependencies from build-depends-indep to build-depends.
This effectively enables rebuilding of man pages even for binary package builds. It looks like the goal was to work around problems in multi-arch installability. But I don't see how it does that. I'm assuming the problem is a date in the resulting man page or similar. There's definitely a date in the nroff files. If all the binaries happened to get built on the same date, perhaps you'd get something that is multi-arch installable. But for example if there is a binnmu on one arch, it seems like things would break. Why is this the right thing to do? It seems like Steve's proposed solution in #851650 is a better solution. In particular, make sure that patches to man pages include patches both to the nroff and xml so we never trigger a rebuild. --Sam
