Package: debhelper Version: 5.0.63 Severity: wishlist Hi,
It would be nice if debhelper could provide a command to verify that the package is buildable on the current architecture, by looking at the debian/control files. The main use case is for packages which build one or more architecture independent packages and one or more architecture dependent packages on some architectures only. Calling this command at the beginning of the build process would save build daemon time.
