While we are talking about this, I would like to point out the following |

message that I sent here on November 3rd: |

To summarize, in order for revdep-rebuild to ignore binary packages, it |
| 22 |
needs help from the package maintainers. This is done, by the package |
| 23 |
installing a file into /etc/revdep-rebuild/ that tells revdep-rebuild |
| 24 |
what directories to ignore. |
