Package: oprofile-source
Severity: serious

The way this package is built is not accepteble. Please fix the build
system to something that works with just dpkg-buildpackage.

Michael Banck:

  The package builds fine like that, it's just the additional kernel
  modules which need to be built by a different script, AIUI

Steve Langasek:

  well, here's the thing.  the source package does build if you run
  the normal debian/rules commands; but those binary packages that are
  built do *not* include the kernel-specific modules packages.  So you
  have to go through an additional step to build the per-kernel module
  packages, which are not listed in debian/control but are present in
  the archive.

me:

  We cannot support this security-wise.

  Apart from that the package apparently fails to build from source
  (FTBFS) if

    make -f debian/rules build
    sudo make -f debian/rules binary

  doesn't produce all required binary packages that should end up in
  the archive.


  This is surely release-critical.


Regards,

        Joey
