Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock
Control: affects -1 + src:base-files
Please unblock package base-files
[ Reason ]
It contains the changes everybody expects for bookworm as stable.
[ Tests ]
I've done my best double-checking that everything is correct.
[ Risks ]
The upload contains also other minor changes, but all of them are small,
all of them are low risk, and none of them should affect the end user.
[ Checklist ]
[X] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
[X] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[X] attach debdiff against the package in testing
[ Other info ]
Note 1: I'm actually using a diff in "git show" format,
because the old "copyright.in" is now simply "copyright"
and a debdiff would show this as a spurious big difference.
Note 2: All the changes in the licenses/* directory are really the
result of refreshing the licenses. I do not decide about those changes
nor I have a way to control them.
Thanks.

distributions as
two sides of the same coin. Since the base-files package in testing
was initially uploaded for unstable, the only sensible /etc/issue to
have is one that is both valid for testing and unstable, hence

A. The codename is a little bit more informative, as the meaning of
"testing" changes over time.
