Please unblock mustache-d/0.1.3-1, which is a reverse-dependency of the LDC D compiler. The LDC package as well as its reverse dependencies have been caught by an unfortunate bug which made builds fail on ppc64el, leaving us the choice to drop this architecture to have things migrate, or wait and fix it. The issue has been fixed for a while, but not as quickly as expected, with the unfortunate consequence that it missed the release deadline by a week. The mustache-d static library has been built into the appstream-generator package, which did migrate since it has always failed to build on ppc64el. Having mustache-d in Stretch would be mostly for source-consistency, the changes on the sources are minimal[1], mainly due to the Meson patch being already included in the Debian package. See also my mail to the release-team mailinglist outlining this issue a while back: https://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2017/01/msg00592.html Unblocking this would require the LDC package to go into Stretch first. Thank you for considering this! Kind regards, Matthias unblock mustache-d/0.1.3-1 [1]: https://github.com/repeatedly/mustache-d/compare/v0.1.1...v0.1.3
