Bug#460309: dpkg: debian/control doesn't allow one homepage per binary package
Package: dpkg Version: 1.14.15 Severity: normal Hi! Lot's of the KDE source packages have a different upstream homepage for every binary package, because all the different projects are released together in one tarball. Right now it is not possible to express this in the Control file, because the homepage must be set per source package. Otherwise dpkg-source tells you the following: "dpkg-source: warning: unknown information field 'Homepage' in input data in package's section of control info file" Please implement the possibility to specify a different homepage per binary packages than specified for the source package.

This is unimportant (unless porting to Win32/Mac) but good style and harmless with Perl 5.6; it's important with Perl 5.8 because I/O now uses the :utf8 layer by default when the current locale's encoding is UTF-8, so binary filehandles need to be identified as such.

Bug#433477: dpkg-gencontrol -v fails to set ${binary:Version}
Here's one scenario where I use -v and binary:Version. I have a library, libscarlet, that I build for both Sarge and Etch. To be able to tell the two versions apart, I append "+dv3.1" or "+dv4.0" to the version of the binary package. ("dv" stands for "Debian Version.") I build the following regular, debug, and developer package files: libscarlet0_1.6.0+dv3.1_i386.deb libscarlet0-dbg_1.6.0+dv3.1_i386.deb libscarlet-dev_1.6.0+dv3.1_i386.deb libscarlet0_1.6.0+dv4.0_i386.deb libscarlet0-dbg_1.6.0+dv4.0_i386.deb libscarlet-dev_1.6.0+dv4.0_i386.deb I build both versions of the packages from the same source. The binary version is set with a pbuilder hook that edits the debian/rules file to pass a -v flag to dh_gencontrol (which passes it to dpkg-gencontrol). Here is my hook script: #! /bin/sh -e # A50add-debianversion, by Stephen Gildea. # pbuilder type A hook, runs before dpkg-buildpackage. # Purpose: add the version of this Debian release to the binary # package version. # (This addition lets us build binaries for # more than one Debian release from the same sources.) debian_release=$(cat etc/debian_version) cd tmp/buildd/*/ source_version=$(dpkg-parsechangelog | sed -n '/^Version: /s/Version: //p') total_vers=$source_version+dv$debian_release echo "Will build binaries as version $total_vers" sed -i~ "/^ dh_gencontrol[^-]*\$/s/dh_gencontrol/& -- -v'$total_vers'/" \ debian/rules The dpkg support for different source and binary versions is great, and it accurately records that my binary packages come from the same source. In particular, my binary package control files correctly have the following lines: Version: 1.6.0+dv4.0 Source: libscarlet (1.6.0) I would like to specify the dependencies of the dbg and dev packages with the following simple declarations in the control file: Package: libscarlet0-dbg Depends: libscarlet0 (= ${binary:Version}) Package: libscarlet-dev Depends: libscarlet0 (= ${binary:Version}) ... and this is the only part of my whole setup that doesn't work. ${binary:Version} is "1.6.0", but it needs to be "1.6.0+dv4.0".
