Exact words are: In addition, the packages in _main_ * must not require a package outside of _main_ for compilation or execution (thus, the package must not declare a "Depends", "Recommends", or "Build-Depends" relationship on a non-_main_ package), If you build with different tools, you have a different package. "X built with gcc" and "X built with icc" are very different things (just as "X" and "X with x.patch and x2.patch applied" are different things). > This package is buildable by tools in main.

Good case in point, the m68k I hope we all agree that the spirit is what matters; people who ignore the spirit and word-lawyer the letter are people to ignore. -- Glenn Maynard
