Your words have made me rethink and also let me re-read the policy part 5.6.12. And yes, you are right as the version in the changelog is referring to the version of the binary packages and these are all the same as before. So yes, we still need the epoch here of course. >> The remove of the transitional packages is planned for the next >> Thunderbird version 52.5.0. > > Are you removing the transitional packages now?

We want to remove the transitional packages for buster, not in stretch or jessie (and wheezy too of course). Do I've something overseen here? Currently I haven't anything in mind that would really prevent us from removing the transitional packages in buster. -- Regards Carsten Schoenert
