Package: debian-policy
Version: 3.5.2.0
Severity: normal
please refer to lintian bug 86710, it asks for lintian to check the syntax of
the Build-Depends field.
Specifically, [!i386 m68k] seems like it could be valid, but seems to not be.
The archs are also whitespace separated, some people are using commas. Perhaps
an exmple with multiple arches would be good.

This example is now expressly forbidden:
Exclamation marks may be prepended to each of the names.
(It is not permitted for some names to be prepended with
exclamation marks and others not.)
This was done in policy version 3.5.3.0.
So I'm closing this bug report.
