I doubt that a dummy package is better, I think it is even worse because it will lull people into security where there is none. Basically, initrd-tools has been removed because it maintainers asked for removal from testing plus unstable. If I understand it correct, someone could take over a package where the maintainers asked for removal (well, basically it is orphaned with the "please remove foo now") - and if the then-current maintainer ask to let the initrd-tools back to testing, I don't see why we should refuse this. (Of course, my understanding could be wrong.) Cheers, Andi -- http://home.arcor.de/andreas-barth/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
