[Bug 651027] [NEW] dovecot-postfix claimed as built in debian/control but not actually built

[Colin Watson]

Public bug reported:

http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-
archive/testing/maverick_outdate.html lists dovecot-postfix as out of
date.  However, it's not showing up in the not-built-from-source lists,
so I investigated.  It appears that the package intends to build
dovecot-postfix as an Architecture: all transitional package.  However,
the binary-indep target in debian/rules looks like this:

binary-indep: build install
        mkdir -p $(CURDIR)/debian/mail-stack-delivery/etc/dovecot/conf.d/
        mkdir -p $(CURDIR)/debian/mail-stack-delivery/etc/dovecot/auth.d/
        cp $(CURDIR)/debian/01-mail-stack-delivery.conf $(CURDIR)/debian/mail-stack-delivery/etc/dovecot/conf.d/
        cp $(CURDIR)/debian/01-mail-stack-delivery.auth $(CURDIR)/debian/mail-stack-delivery/etc/dovecot/auth.d/
        dh_testdir -pmail-stack-delivery
        dh_testroot -pmail-stack-delivery
        dh_installdocs -pmail-stack-delivery
        dh_installchangelogs -pmail-stack-delivery ChangeLog
        dh_compress -pmail-stack-delivery
        dh_installdeb -pmail-stack-delivery
        dh_gencontrol -pmail-stack-delivery
        dh_md5sums -pmail-stack-delivery
        dh_builddeb -pmail-stack-delivery

I think this was an overenthusiastic substitution made when the mail-
stack-delivery package was created.  Most of those -pmail-stack-delivery
options should probably be just -i instead so that all the binary-indep
packages get built.

I'm milestoning this for 10.10, as it needs to be fixed as a matter of
archive consistency.
