As discussed on debian-devel, however, binary packages built on a merged-usr system are not installable on a non-merged-usr system. Obviously we would like ad hoc builds of packages from one stretch machine to be installable on other stretch machines. I do not see any way in which this could be resolved for stretch. Accordingly, please urgently revert this change for stretch-backports. Ian. (I have CC'd debian-release@lists because this seems like it wants the attention of the stable release team. I wasn't able to find a separate contact address for the stable release team here https://www.debian.org/intro/organization and I have a vague memory that this is somehow the same list. Please redirect me if I am wrong.) -- Ian Jackson <ijack...@chiark.greenend.org.uk> These opinions are my own.
