Thanks Yann for showing up! Now we know that we are all in agreement for this.
For completeness, I've rebuilt the 272 packages which BD on dh-buildinfo and found that the following ones do not build from source: bcron csound eccodes gnumeric leaktracer libcache-lru-perl libept libjson-webtoken-perl liblo liblog-dispatch-message-passing-perl libxml-libxml-debugging-perl libyaml o2 reqwest runit Some of them fail for reasons not related with dh-buildinfo. Some of them are already reported. But some of them are not reported yet. Among them: - Some have a versioned BD on dh-buildinfo, which only the real one satisfies but debhelper conflicts dh-buildinfo so the build fails with "unsatisfiable build-depends". - Some have "dh $@ --with buildinfo" which debhelper no longer handles. Can someone care about reporting those? Please do not make 0-day NMUs, remember that they will fail to build regardless of dh-buildinfo existing or not. I'd like to wait for everything to be reported before we think of reassigning to ftp.debian.org. Regarding the blocks, I think they do not make sense at this point, because none of the 272 packages try to install src:dh-buildinfo when they are built. The ones that fail to build will fail with or without src:dh-buildinfo in the archive, so I wonder if nab (hope this transliteration is ok) would be willing to remove the blocks as a pre-condition to ask ftpmasters to remove the package. Thanks.
