This completely defeats the purpose of qemu-block-extra package. The idea was to be able to ship less commonly used backends in a separate package to avoid too much dependencies. When you make these a strong dependency, you end up always installing this package. I objected when this has been done in Ubuntu, and asked for a reason for this, but never seen a reply. Maybe you can re-evaluate the reasons why this has been made in Ubuntu, and revert this change. I can _guess_ this was because some people complained that after introducing this new qemu-block-extra package, their block devices stopped working (because they've been moved to -extra out of main). We can't really deal with this by introducing new packages and making transitional packages, we can, however, _recommend_ the new package, and we can mention this in the NEWS file (both of which I did). > a 5dea4321d9 qemu-efi is in universe > a 4018ada7da no more skip enable libiscsi (now in main) > a fc0aef8d0c let qemu-utils recommend sharutils > b a06832a485 avoid people editing d/control > b 7a257a6a46 Enable seccomp for ppc64el > a 5c4d2d0849 Disable glusterfs (Universe dependency) > b 78aaa8e6b0 char: fix ctrl-a b not working > b 4aa3e058c2 bump libseccomp-dev dependency The rest is good small fixes. 78aaa8e6b0 is from upstream and should be in next their stable, hopefully. These are good small changes I'll definitely pick. At any rate, all this, unfortunately, is post-stretch matherial, as I can't change anything in the main branch at this time, unfortunately. Maybe it's time to create debian-stretch branch anyway. Thank you very much! /mjt
