debian doesn't really want to see old linux code getting into the main archive just for the purpose of the hurd port. Same goes for rumpkernel and such. > Should I add a workaround? Yes, ports are often not really bootstrapable without the unreleased suite. > I see that "grep" is another Essential:yes package in unreleased (but > it is also in unstable). Probably just because of some patching. Samuel
