So in theory well but in practice FTP Masters could remove packages that are not completely untied if those packages annoy a lot of people (or legal reasons) --- python-oauth2client and unittest2 are now in the same situation. Who should waste time on this ? Maintainer (...you) putting one last time their seal-of-approval on something horribly broken anyway of FTP Masters using some special magic with extra care that breaks integrity of archive (the build-depends is gone, not that package is rebuildable anyway) Greetings Le jeu. 20 f=C3=A9vr. 2025 =C3=A0 14:20, a =C3=A9crit : > > > On Feb 20, 2025 11:21, Dmitry Shachnev wrote: > > amp is not in testing and has 2 RC bugs (other than one about nose), so > > I think we do not need to care about it. > > I wish you were right but that is unfortunately not how Debian (and in fa= ct DAK) works: all reverse depends MUST be fixed so a package can be remove= d.
