Source: dh-make Version: 2.202302 Severity: serious Justification: Multiarch false promises X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-cr...@lists.debian.org, hel...@subdivi.de, chris.obb...@collabora.com
Dear dh-make maintainers, This bug is related to #1040542 and to commit d411b19 on Salsa[1]. [1] https://salsa.debian.org/debian/dh-make/-/commit/d411b19 Currently, the dh_make command adds 'Multi-Arch: foreign' automatically to several packages. This implies that Multiarch will honor all items present here[2] in all new packages sent to Debian and made by people that don't know Multiarch (including some sponsors). [2] https://wiki.debian.org/DependencyHell#Multi-Arch:_foreign The natural consequence will be once such a package enters the archive, the Multiarch:hinter will suggest more 'Multi-Arch: foreign' based on this promise and before too long we have an archive polluted with false promises, rendering Multiarch useless. Regards, Eriberto
