[Bug 276629] [NEW] archive-cruft-checker doesn't pick up all cruft

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Steve Kowalik (stevenk):

Running archive-cruft-checker.py on drescher generates a list of binary
packages that are no longer built from source, but it misses some.

lp_archive at drescher:~$ m -s intrepid lib32ffi4 lib64ffi4 gcc-4.2
 lib32ffi4 | 4.2.3-2ubuntu7 | intrepid/universe | amd64
 lib64ffi4 | 4.2.3-2ubuntu7 | intrepid/universe | i386, powerpc, sparc
   gcc-4.2 | 4.2.4-3ubuntu2 |      intrepid | source, amd64, hppa, i386, ia64, lpia, powerpc, sparc

As you can see, both lib32ffi4 and lib64ffi4 used to be built from the
gcc-4.2 source package, but aren't any more.

lp_archive at drescher:~$ m -s hardy lib32ffi4 lib64ffi4 gcc-4.2
 lib32ffi4 | 4.2.3-2ubuntu7 |         hardy | amd64
 lib64ffi4 | 4.2.3-2ubuntu7 |         hardy | i386, powerpc, sparc
   gcc-4.2 | 4.2.3-2ubuntu7 |         hardy | source, amd64, hppa, i386, ia64, lpia, powerpc, sparc

They were, however, built from the version of gcc-4.2, which may be why
they don't show up.
