(or if a build requirement uses it and is missing such a dep for reasons to examine) > the official stance When I posted the comment, I've searched a bit, but I'm at a loss why this has not been added to the guidelines by the FPC. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
