From 71e10953d25187a6528623dbd49901a89463426c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joey Hess Date: Tue, 1 Sep 2009 13:40:52 -0400 Subject: -a == -s The -a flag now does the same thing as the -s flag, so debhelper users do not need to worry about using the -s flag when building a package that only builds for some architectures, and dh will also work in that situation.
