We can also negotiate uploads to experimental for s390-tools if needed. Now if something like Viktor's suggestion would've worked, I think we could've fixed stretch using that as well. But then it's true that chzdev should be the way forward. And there's too little man power to just make it happen in Debian right now.[*] Kind regards Philipp Kern [*] I hold that Ubuntu could've just made it happen within Debian without much trouble. Even though I sort of understand the context why that didn't happen. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Well, it's contained in the upstream source package, so it would just be
a matter of including the binaries lszdev and chzdev (plus the man pages).
The other thing is that one has to get rid of the old-style config
files, e.g. by not installing them in the first place, which what Ubuntu
did.
It might be nice if the Ubuntu changes to s390-tools and
d-i/sysconfig-writer could be backported to Debian (Dimitri?).
