Thanks for mentioning it! I didn't even *know* about the existence of fuse3. Is libfuse3 API compatible with fuse2? In other words, is it just a recompile away for e2fsprogs to be able to produce a fuse2fs binary that works with fuse3? If so, I wonder if we would be better off renaming libfuse3-dev to something like fuse-dev? That would mean that people who just recompiled their packages would pick up fuse3 support.

Well, it would still be annoying in the short-term, since I'll have to teach my scripts how to generate a different debian/control from debian/control.in so that we use libfuse2-dev for pre-Buster, and libfuse3-dev or fuse-dev for Buster+. But if we chase things so that it's fuse-dev for Buster+. in the future it will be easier to support debian packaging trivially for muliple Debian releases. Cheers, - Ted P.S. If fuse3 and fuse are not co-installable, we really should have managed this as a formal buster migration earlier. Oh, well, water under the bridge, but we're going to have to move briskly before the Debian Buster transition freeze of January 12, 2019. :-/

IMHO some progress could be made if Laszlo allows co-maintainers to participate in maintenance of "fuse3" package (#912526). I'd very much like to update sshfs for FUSE3 but #912528 is a blocker and changes should be made in "fuse3" to move forward... -- All the best, Dmitry Smirnov. --- It is a mistake to try to look too far ahead.

fuse -> fuse3
The package fuse3 is available since awhile in sid/buster. Their users however are still using old fuse (v2), e.g. sshfs-fuse. According to this: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=912528 fuse3 is not co-installable with fuse, but a patch is available. So is there a chance this get fixed and sshfs-fuse and other package can be updated to use fuse3 for buster? Thanks to everyone involved.
