Nope, we could make an upload as 1.15.7.1 already transitioned to testing. > > I think this feature deserves a non-regression test given how seldom it's > > used in daily usages by the developers. > > That would imply adding the infrastructure to create a chroot, which > might be nice to have anyway to test dpkg w/o affecting the installed > system, but still, I'm not prepared to do this right now. Right, but it should not be too difficult either. We could use debootstrap to create the chroot. We could make the usage of the chroot optional via the make variables used. $(DPKG_*) would hide the --root= and file based checks would be rewritten to have $(ROOT) prepended (it could be empty). The major problem is how to automatically install the same dpkg version in the chroot... but we could keep that step manual and just have checks to verify that both are in sync.
