Hi all Is there anything that can be done in Build Service to eliminate the redundancy of the package .dsc and debian.control files? Specifically, I have 'Build-Depends' fields in both of these and Build Service seems to be using the package .dsc file to perform the pre-build package installations, but then dpkg-buildpackage (or whatever is used internally) seems to be doing a check using the information in the debian.control file. My (fairly limited) experience of Debian packaging had led me to believe that the '.dsc' file is normally a resultant file, rather than an input that the user needs to generate. I wonder why Build Service has chosen to use the .dsc file in its implementation? What, if any, is the information present in the .dsc file that can not be obtaining from any of the other must-have debian/* files?
