Package: src:git
Version: 1:2.17.0-1
Severity: normal
This bug is a follow-up for the following thread on
[email protected]:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-backports/2018/05/msg00063.html
src:git/1:2.17.0-1 Build-Depends on asciidoc (>= 8.6.10); however, in
asciidoc/NEWS.Debian the following is advised:
asciidoc (8.6.10-1) unstable; urgency=low
The version 8.6.10 has been marked as FINAL RELEASE by the upstream
maintainers.
They advise their users to move to asciidoctor.

Consequently, to unblock an update of the existing stretch-backport of
src:git it is preferable that src:git in sid transition to asciidoctor
at this time, rather than creating a NEW stretch-backport of
asciidoc/8.6.10-1.
Thanks to Mert Dirik, Joseph Herlant, and Jonathan Nieder for the
discussion on -backports!
Cheers,
Nicholas
