I would prefer to have a "block-all udeb" (as an analogy to block-all source), as well as having "block-udeb package" - I don't think britney should consider something as blocked by default for having a udeb (and also it is just more consistent). > The changes in DAK will probably also necessitate changes in other > services like bjorn.haxx.se and the PTS so that the reasons why packages > cannot migrate are correctly displayed. If we use block-hints in a freeze-udeb-file, then these tools will do the right things "by itself".
