in IRC, Sebastian Ramacher asked me why only binNMU dbus and not everything
from that list. Let me record my answer here:
a) because only the changes in dbus are relevant for a GNU/Hurd chroot with
sys vinit in practice and
b) some packages where it *is* relevant still have pending patches and need a
new source upload in the future, so they will get rebuilt with the new
debhelper version then
I would also like to add:
c) because I only asked the dbus maintainer for their approval to submit this
binNMU request and
d) I hoped that by keeping the list as short as possible, it would reduce the
possible hurdles during processing of my request
Since it's now one week later I would like to send you a friendly ping to
maybe please consider performing the binNMU of dbus. It would help my work
on GNU/Hurd a lot.
Thank you!
cheers, josch
