One thing I'm missing from pbuilder testsuite is a testsuite for Build-Depends parsing.
I would like to do one of the following
1. A script to ensure all Build-Depends*: field in Sources.gz can be
parsed and installed in clean chroot. Might be more feasible now
with cowdancer. This would give me confidence that
pbuilder-satisfydepends is working.
2. A collection of corner-case samples of Build-Depends. This probably
needs to be worked on in a longer-term to find regressions.
The main problem being that I don't have too much resource at hand.
regards,
junichi
