Thread-topic: build xen 4.3 backport for wheezy

I’m attempting to build 4.3 from Jessie (Debian) and I’m bumping into an interesting dependency:

[POC][root@debian xen-4.3.0]# debuild -us -uc -b -d

dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -d -us -uc -b

dpkg-buildpackage: warning: using a gain-root-command while being root

dpkg-buildpackage: source package xen

dpkg-buildpackage: source version 4.3.0-3.1

dpkg-buildpackage: source changed by Brian Menges <bmenges>

dpkg-source --before-build xen-4.3.0

dpkg-buildpackage: host architecture amd64

fakeroot debian/rules clean

md5sum --check debian/control.md5sum --status || \

/usr/bin/make -f debian/rules debian/control-real

make[1]: Entering directory `/root/wheezy-xen-4.3/xen-4.3.0'

debuild: fatal error at line 1357:

It looks like the build scripts aren’t detecting my installation of linux-support-3.12-0.bpo.1 and has a version lock on 3.10-3 (which isn’t backported, and available only in Jessie even though BPO has the newest 3.12).

I tried looking into the Debian_xen/__init__py however I see that the line there ‘linux-support-%’ which I then checked ‘version’ and it says None. So I’m wondering where else this might be getting a frozen version from and not attempting to check for other versions, or newer versions.
