Comment 3 for bug 992543

That's fine (and I will look into it), but did this deliberately change between 0.5.3r449 and 0.5.3r512? Surely there were patches in r449 that did not trip up buildpackage.

Per my description, the buildpackage route worked fine on 0.5.3r449.

Reopening just to get an answer for this. If "yes" then I don't think there's an issue. If "no" can you explain why there's a difference? Perhaps this indicates a bug in some other library?
