We shouldn't actively promote xz like that until the need for the Pre-Depends has gone away (i.e. after 12.04 LTS). Furthermore, Lintian checks need to be reasonably quick or else people will Ctrl-C it. The above would be very slow on many packages. -- Colin Watson [[email protected]] -- ubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
