Thanks for pointing this out. Indeed, the build-dependencies are potentially modified in all of those targets (including just "clean"), and this has been against the RC policy since etch (most likely introduced at a later time than the previous discussion on this bug). So I'm upgrading the severity to serious on those grounds, if there are no objections. -- Tim Retout <dioc...@debian.org> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
