Hello, About 4 months ago I digged through Debian to find all packages which would contain /usr/share/info/dir.gz if rebuilt (see #214769 for details.) and submitted (iirc) about 30 bugs (about 20 still open) with Severity important. Every single one of these bugs has patch.
I.e. any of these package has a RC bug if it is recompieled without fixing this bug. Today an NMU happened (anubis) which did exactly this. To stop this from happening again I want to raise the severity to serious, but not without asking here, I have CCed release but want discussion to happen on -devel. #218471 anubis #218478 bison #218479 bogosort #218483 bookview #218941 fsh #218946 gawk #218964 gnuplot-doc #218976 texinfo #218978 jwhois #219599 libgmp3-doc #219607 lightning #219609 mdk #219612 ndtpd #219988 ssed #219990 stow #219991 texi2html #219994 which anubis Janusz A.
