Subject: libforms: FTBFS when built with dpkg-buildpackage -A (no binary artifacts)

Package: src:libforms
Version: 1.2.3-1.2
User: sanvila@debian.org
Usertags: binary-indep
Severity: important

Dear maintainer:

I tried to build this package with "dpkg-buildpackage -A"
(i.e. only architecture-independent packages), and it failed:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[...]
 fakeroot debian/rules binary-indep
make: Nothing to be done for 'binary-indep'.
 dpkg-genchanges -A >../libforms_1.2.3-1.2_all.changes
dpkg-genchanges: error: binary build with no binary artifacts found; cannot distribute
dpkg-buildpackage: error: dpkg-genchanges gave error exit status 2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This usually happens because there is a binary-indep target in debian/rules
which is either empty or does not do anything useful.

If all the arch-independent packages are dummy transitional packages released with jessie,
the easy fix is to drop them now. If not, debian/rules should be modified so that the
binary-indep target generates the architecture independent packages (and only those).

After checking that both "dpkg-buildpackage -A" and "dpkg-buildpackage -B" work
properly, this package will be suitable to be uploaded in source-only form if you wish
(I recommend that you try it).

Thanks.

Greetings.

I have the ok from the Release Managers to consider this issue as RC
for stretch. I'm going to wait at least one week before raising
this to "serious".

If you need help to fix this bug, please tag it as "help".

Thanks.

Unfortunately that patch does not work. I couldn't figure out how to
fix it so I made a tested and working patch to switch to dh, attached.
The generated binary packages have the same set of files and work.

The patch also fixes the other libforms RC bug, CCing it.

I have uploaded this NMU to the 7-days delayed queue to give the
maintainer a chance to come up with a non-dh version of the patch.
