Package: debian-policy Version: 4.6.2.0 Severity: wishlist Hi!
Starting with dpkg 1.22.0, it implements a dpkg-build-api mechanism similar in concept to the debhelper-compat levels. You can check its documentation in the dpkg-build-api(7) and dpkg-buildapi(1) manual pages. I think at least the part that involves the Rules-Requires-Root field which in level 1 defaults to value «no» instead of «binary-targets» should be documented in the Debian policy. I'm ambivalent on whether documenting the general mechanism in Debian policy makes sense though. [ I noticed I didn't update the deb-src-control(5) manual page, so I did that locally and will be part of the next dpkg release. ] Thanks, Guillem
