package cdbs
severity 525436 important
retitle 525436 cdbs: arch-dep Python modules previously miscompiled now FTBFS
thanks

I believe this bug can only be triggered under these circumstances:

  * Source package provide both arch and arch-indep binary packages
  * Python module is arch-dependent
  * Arch-independent package is listed topmost in debian/control
  * Local rules rely on earlier cdbs bug that would wrongly build Python
    module in above composition as arch-all

It can be seen as somewhat an accidental _feature_, in that it now 
refuses to miscompile the Python module as was the case earlier.

I thus lower the severity of this bug: It is much better to shib with a 
cdbs that causes FTBFS than same oddly constructed packages silently 
miscompiling the Python module.


Kind regards,

  - Jonas
