Fair enough - I didn't mean to say there would be no reason to use fallback dependencies - only that the reason you gave seemed unfounded. Also, if you are talking about the semi-official¹ backports target in Debian, then I am not sure if fallback-dependencies are taken into account or deliberately suppressed for the reason of ensuring reproducibility, same as for the official targets. - Jonas ¹ Official as tied to a debian.org host, but officially unsupported by security team and Debbugs and release team. -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
