Hints and Tips

CDBS generates python-dev build-dependency

When CDBS is used to generate build dependencies, it always generate:

• Build-Depends: python-dev

If your package don't need python-dev, you can add one of those rules in debian/rules:

•   CDBS_BUILD_DEPENDS_class_python-distutils = python
    CDBS_BUILD_DEPENDS_class_python-distutils = python-all

See CDBS bug 577613
