Hi Scott,I've removed the moreinfo tag because I think that jade can be removed. If this is an error on my side, please add the moreinfo tag again.
Those three packages all have a serious bug filed, asking for the replacement of jade in their Build-Depends:
aboot -- https://bugs.debian.org/832491 mozart -- https://bugs.debian.org/837510 pyepl -- https://bugs.debian.org/840377Moreover, all three packages have been removed from testing because of other RC bugs. Unless those other bugs are fixed, they won't be part of the next release.
So removing the package jade from unstable would only break those packages in unstable -- where they are already severely broken.
And last, not least, the package "jade" has two RC bugs itself -- so it will probably soon be scheduled for autorm from testing.
Would this justify the breaking of Build-Depends? Regards, Tobias
