rethinking this (after my previous mail) would we get an issue because some files are staged but not packaged (which is generally not the case, but I am thinking about gcc-cross and friends) > > my uneducated suggestion would be dont remove them and do something > like Frans suggests, reason being I am noticing packages that do not > build with files that you would expect especially ones with -dev tags. > or even some not being made like libgcc-dev.
