No support for build profiles, or multiarch":native" or ":any" specifiers in Debian Build-Depends field

[rahcollabora]

Build-Depends can contain constructions such as

  g++-multilib [amd64 armel armhf i386 kfreebsd-amd64 mips mips64 mips64el mipsel mipsn32 mipsn32el powerpc ppc64 s390 s390x sparc sparc64 x32] <!cross>
  g++-5-x86-64-linux-gnu [amd64] <cross>
  binutils:native (>= 2.25.90) | binutils-multiarch:native (>= 2.25.90)

Which demonstrate both ":native" arch specifiers and build profiles ("<!cross>", etc.) Details on build profiles are here and information on multiarch ":native" and ":any" are here.

Without this, attempts to build recent packages results in errors such as:

Can be closed as PR #267 merged.

[andrewshadura]

That PR only adds the ability to parse build profiles, but does not make it possible to set them.

[nickbroon]

Agreed. It would be very useful if there was support in prjconf for defining DEB_BUILD_PROFILES and DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS for debian builds, in the same way that prjconf currently support rpm macros/options.
