Bug#540861: Cannot reproduce FTBFS - looks like the buildd ignores policy 7.7

[Niels Thykier]

Hi Kurt

Looking at your build log it seems like it does not fetch the
Build-Depends-Indep before invoking "debian/rules build", which it
should according to the policy [#7.7].

I have just tried to build jetty 6.1.19-2 from source on an i686 using
cowbuilder[1] and it successfully builds - see attached log.

This could be solved by throwing every Build-Depends-Indep into
Build-Depends - looking at #328951 it seems to be the solution[2].

~Niels

[1] I did:
$ apt-get source jetty
$ sudo cowbuilder --build  jetty_6.1.19-2.dsc


[#7.7] Snippet of Policy 7.7:
"The Build-Depends-Indep and Build-Conflicts-Indep fields must be
satisfied when any of the following targets is invoked: build,
build-indep, binary and binary-indep."
