Bug Description

Please enable libdrm-intel for ports architectures. It's a build-dependency of plymouth, so contributes to a plymouth FTBFS. Fedora makes available libdrm-2.4.6-6.fc11.ppc.rpm, demonstrating that this wouldn't be a change unique to Ubuntu.

While it is unlikely that anyone has hardware with sparc/powerpc/armel/ia64 processors and the necessary graphics modules to require this package, the package builds successfully and may even work. If anyone happens to have the hardware necessary to report a bug, then it demonstrates that the package should have been built. If nobody has the hardware, then it doesn't matter if it works.

I believe this to be a less-invasive solution than attempting to special-case plymouth's code to conditionally build the intel bits only for linux-i386, linux-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, and kfreebsd-amd64.

Debdiff implementing requested changes Edit (2.4 KiB, text/plain)

I've prepared a debdiff implementing the requested changes, as well as cleaning up the libdrm-dev dependency on libnouveau for non-linux ports (fairly meaningless in the context of Ubuntu, but matches the lines in debian/rules). I've tested builds in lucid for both amd64 and powerpc, and the results seem sane (although I obviously have no way to test if the libdrm-intel code actually works on powerpc rather than just being present as a library and headers).

* Enable libdrm-intel for ports architectures (LP: #507765)
* Adjust libdrm-dev dependencies to reflect nouveau being linux-any
