As a package maintainer, I'd be very interested in the results of this run across the archive to pick up problems with various packages, similar to how we do with debcheck and the like. It's easy to miss problems like this due to newly-introduced upstream dependencies on things. I realize there's a larger debate at the moment over whether this distinction is useful, but until we make a clear decision to stop supporting it, it's nice to have tools to help us support what we're currently supporting. And it also makes it clear how large of a problem we have with following this separation, which can inform the decision of whether to continue to support it. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
