but i am not willing to complicate the maintenance of matplotlib by splitting b-d and b-d-i. > I've made this merge request: > https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/matplotlib/-/merge_requests/1 > > I duplicated some of the build-dependencies to make it more clear that > they are needed by both, if that's no OK I can rework my change and only > keep one You provide this patch as a one-off, and then i will be the one that will have to take care of maintaining it forever. that's not something i'm not willing to commit to. All of this to support the bootstrap of unofficial ports. bootstrapping is (AFAICT) a manual operation sometimes. I'm ok with annotating the current b-d with !stage1 where needed (or fix the current annotations if they are incorrect), if that facilitates your work.
