Hi,

the file /lib/systemd/system/ceph-volume@.service was previously
part of the ceph-osd binary package, but has now moved to
ceph-volume. However, this file will also need to move from /lib to
/usr/lib during trixie.

This combination will become a DEP17 P1 problem: "File loss during
canonicalized file move", and is currently prohibited by the file
move moratorium. As an effect, it is likely the ceph-volume@.service
will be lost in some percentage of upgrades.

There are potential mitigations if this file move needs to happen,
but they are hard to understand and therefore even harder to test.
It would be easier for everyone, if this file move could be avoided
altogether.

I'm therefore asking you to consider not moving the file between
binary packages.

If you come to the conclusion that the file must be moved, please
reply on this bug report and keep the problem confined to
experimental for now.


Thanks,
Chris
