I did look at #1111276 and #1079871 before writing my email, and I could not find any explanation *why* this was necessary. Based on what you wrote "unmaintained" was the only justification for removing dh_clideps and telling maintainers to hardcode dependencies instead, which is pretty backwards. Unmaintained infrastructure is not good, but it only becomes a problem when it breaks and is not easily fixable. If there was an actual problem with cli-common, you should have explainted it in the bugs so that other people have the opportunity to understand the problem and try to fix it. cu Adrian
