Package: gedit-common
Version: 2.8.2-1
Severity: normal

According to Policy, section 5.2, a debian package that is
architecture-independent (thus, one that has 'Architecture: all' set in
the debian/control file) should be built as a dependant of the
binary-indep target of the debian/rules file.

The gedit package does not; not only is this against policy, it is also
a nuisance for those of us who maintain autobuilders: autobuilders
invoke 'dpkg-buildpackage -B' to avoid binary-indep packages to be
built, which results in a .changes that does not mention the _all.deb
files. As a result, they aren't automatically cleaned either, so must be
manually removed.

Of course, they're also a waste of precious CPU time.

Please modify your debian/rules file to not build Architecture: all
packages as a dependency of the binary-indep target.

 It seems this bug wasn't properly closed after the upload of gedit
 2.8.2-3 (despite the changelog entry).  I'm closing it now.
