One pitfall here is that this would mean rebuilds for three packages. This contitutes a transition and the deadline for buster for such a transition has passed. And we'd need to get two packages through NEW instead of one. > So, when we drop libewf2, the package libewf-dev will not be renamed. To me, Renaming packages does not look like a great problem once buster is released. Cheers, -Hilko
