Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal Hi release team!
Today, I've got an autoremoval mails for erlang and a whole bunch of related packages because of #958841 (see [1] for details). Is it really necessary to remove erlang and all its reverse dependencies, while it's elixir-lang which is the culprit? As far as I can see, removal of all erlang related packages (which includes elixir-lang) should lead to moving them back except for elixir-lang which is now uninstallable. On the other hand, just removing elixir-lang from testing achieves the same outcome without removing/moving back many packages.
