Source: fsverity-utils Version: 1.5-1.1 Severity: important Justification: RC for Debian-Ports X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected], [email protected] Recent versions of fsverity-utils (larger than 1.4-1~exp1 anyway) have a Build-Depends-Arch on pandoc; however, pandoc is an extremely unportable package written in a hard to port language. Please split the package so that the part that requires pandoc is done in an arch:all build. Normally, pandoc is needed only for documentation, which is often easy enough to split off in a -doc binary package, which can then move to B-D-Indep and be built on amd64 or whatever hosts.
