[Build-common-hackers] Bug#501233: [cdbs] cmake.mk does not add "cmake" package to CDBS_BUILD_DEPENDS

[Marc Dequènes (Duck)]

Coin,

I rewrote things a bit, so as to match the current variable names  
policy. I also removed the unconditional versionned B-D, even if  
oldstable has 2.4.5 available, as adding unneeded versioning proved to  
do much harm in the past, mostly in case of porting.

One problem remains: the automatic version discovery will be working  
until the cmake package needs to use epochs. It is possible to  
auto-discover the epoch to use, but that would either means having  
network connectivity (rmadison), or proper sources.list and updated  
local database (apt-cache), but we can't count on this during  
autobuilders' work. Thus the user would have to add the version by  
himself, or modify the version like this:
   DEB_CMAKE_VERSION = <epoch>:$(DEB_CMAKE_VERSION)
which is a bit ugly and would give bullshit if cmake_minimum_required  
is missing or not formated correctly. But we could detect this  
situation.

Any suggestion ?
