This was indeed possible in Debian by having several targets in the changelog in the past. However, we do not do that in Ubuntu because it is not compatible with the "pool" archive structure, where all releases share the same version number namespace. You cannot build the same version of binaries in three different releases, since it results in one and the same .deb file name. And just building it on the oldest release is likely to break library dependencies, SONAME transitions, etc. Martin -- Martin Pitt http://www.piware.de Ubuntu Developer http://www.ubuntu.com Debian Developer http://www.debian.org
