I don't want to waste your time, however, it would be nice if yo could
explain me the reasoning here - why is this not severity serious?
You're complaining that some packages qemu build-depends on are not
available on all architectures. As I mentioned in my first reply,
I can either drop qemu on these architectures, or you can ask the
missing packages maintainers to build the missing packages on your
favorite architecture. As long as qemu is concerned, there's a
wish it would be buildable without the current dependencies.
You can raise the severity back to RC level for sure, - but that
would be just a waste of time of everyone looking at real qemu
bugs.
As far as I understand, every source package that bilds binary-arch for
a given architecture, must be buildable on that architecture.
Probably. There are many arch-all packages which aren't buildable
on anything but x86, - I dunno what to do with these.
oiow "apt source qemu && dpkg-buildpackage -B" should work, no?
I dunno. Feel free to ask the release managers to drop qemu on
architectures where the cross compilers for the firmware aren't
available.
This is as much as I can do. Or can think of - but I'm definitely open
for other alternatives, and would definitely welcome them too.
Thanks,
