Upstream's response to #361376 is to recommend the dropping of
liferea-gtkhtml from 64bit arches. How does one go about that?
Change the Architecture: field for liferea-gtkhtml in debian/control to list
the 32-bit archs, instead of any.
But wouldn't it be fine to just drop this binary package on all archs? I
seem to remember that liferea-gtkhtml has had other problems on all archs in
the past, and that the -xulrunner variant was recommended?
Yes, Lars has stated his intention to completely remove this rendering
engine.
To do so, I'd assume the right way to go would be to turn -gtkhtml
into a dummy package that pulls -xulrunner in.
In that case, the separate liferea-xulrunner package would be rather
pointless, as liferea would just pull it inconditionally. Should both
packages be just merged into one? Would *that* be too much of a change
to get into etch?
