           Summary: Repository specific packaging files not working for

For my package (pidgin-sipe) I want to add an optional build requirement that
can't be fulfilled on all distributions. For RPM based repos this is not a
problem, because you can use flagging in the SPEC file. But how to handle this
case for DEB based repos?

I learned that RPM based repos support repo-specific SPEC files, e.g.

    pidgin-sipe.spec (default)
    pidgin-sipe_RHEL5.spec (RHEL5 specific version)

So I tried this:

    debian.control
    pidgin-sipe.dsc

    debian_xUbuntu_9.10.control
    pidgin-sipe_xUbuntu_9.10.dsc

But the build log for xUbuntu_9.10 shows:

    build35 started "build pidgin-sipe.dsc"

So it didn't work :-(

Did I do something wrong or is the support for repo-specific Debian packaging
files missing? If the latter is the case, could this be added?

Reproducible: Always
