I'm sorry but I never upload packages built in dirty environments. And even doing what you suggest it only solves the issue for the architecture being uploaded (which, btw, is not the one you're using), for the rest the extra-plugins would fail to build until claws-mail is built. Have a look on how the autobuilders work. Anyway, like I've already said in other bug [0], this is handled better in next version. > You could probably get advice on the debian-mentors > mailing list or #debian-mentors IRC channel on irc.debian.org. You could probably too. P.D.: Still waiting for the list of projects which, according your words, handles this situation better, care to share?
