I actually don't like this, but since we do not have versioned Provides:, I'd immediately break existing reverse versioned dependencies without one. > So, because of this, no problem from us to proceed, with the following > remarks: > > * Regarding libcupsys2-dev, 7 packages have a *versioned* > build-dependency on it, which means 7 RC bugs (since libcupsys2-dev > has no transitional package, only a Provides).

Right, I'll provide a transitional package. > * Since I guess your intention is for all the libcupsys2-dev > build-dependencies to eventually disappear, will you be doing a mass > bug filing at a low severity?

I intended to file bugs for doing that transition, since it's less than 10.
