Hello, you're maintaining a Debian package which provides a trigger file. Currently a package that "activates" a trigger is put in the "triggers-awaited" status where it doesn't fulfill dependencies. The trigger must first be processed and only then is the package considered as "installed".
I believe that the vast majority of triggers do not provide a functionality that is so important as to require that the triggering package be put in that status. Thus I'm considering to change this and to introduce new trigger directives that would keep the old behaviour. I need your help to identify the set of package which would have to use the new directives, if I decide to introduce this incompatible change. My recent mail to -devel[1] only suggested "ghc6" so I'm asking all the maintainers directly this time. [1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2011/05/msg01180.html Please reply for the packages that you maintain to the question that concerns you: 1/ If your package uses the "interest" directive in the triggers files, is it important that the "triggering" packages that activate your triggers be considered as not configured (and thus not satisfying dependencies) until the trigger has been processed? 2/ If your package uses the "activate" directive, is it important that your package be considered as not configured (and thus not satisfying dependencies) until the trigger has been processed? I have put "no" as answer for the "install-info" and "man-db" packages. For the others, I would like you to answer explicitly yes or no with a short rationale. If you don't know what to answer, please reply describing what your trigger does, and we'll try to find out through discussion. To make it easier to find the packages that concerns you, I have put a dd-list below. Thanks for your help!
