They're equivalent, so I would view it as intended for human readers, not for computers. In other words, I see a Build-Depends of: foo [i386] | bar [amd64] as saying "there's some part of the build that uses foo on i386, bar on amd64, and handles it internal to the package on other architectures," whereas a Build-Depends of: foo [i386], bar [amd64] I'd read as "there's a feature enabled on i386 that requires foo, and a separate feature enabled on amd64 that requires bar." In the end, it both reduces to the same thing, but it helps human readers figure out how the dependencies are related. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
