Bug#688060: devscripts, , svn-buildpackage: Please move dpkg-getbdeps from svn-buildpackage to, devscripts

[Eddy Petrișor]

Package: devscripts,svn-buildpackage
Severity: normal

Hi,

Back in 2008 I added script /usr/share/svn-buildpackage/contrib/dpkg-getbdeps
to svn-buildpackage as a consequence of bug #506965.

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=506965


As I said in that BR, the more appropriate place for the script would have been
the devscripts package.

The script tries to install the build deps based on debian/control file of the
source package from which the command is ran.

The script is trivial, but really useful:

buildpackage/trunk/contrib/dpkg-getbdeps?view=markup



Of course, moving it from svn-buildpackage to devscripts would need some
coordination, hence the report against both packages.
