Besides build failures (as suggested by Roland and Stuart), there is also a talk about keeping old versions of the source package around for license compliance. This is mostly related to packages "embedding" (parts of) other packages during builds (I believe they would use the Built-Using header to declare this). To knowledge, dak does not expose these extra sources yet. However, I believe it is the plan to eventually do so. ~Niels -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
