Well, I was thinking of build profiles for that. --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- Build-Depends: .... guile-2.0-dev <!profile.withguile> Packagte: make Build-Profiles: !withguile Package: make-guile Build-Profiles: withguile --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- I know I can't do that until Jess is released and dpkg 1.17.2 is in stable. In the meanwhile, looking at gnuplot and kerrberos, I see how I can do detached build directories and dh overrides to actually build two binary packages from the same source package. What I don't see is how to manage to add the build dependency without inconveniencing bootstrapping with a single source package. I don't have the energy to create a brand new source package from the same mangled make upstream source. manoj -- "Of course power tools and alcohol don't mix.
