As I understand, this is now officially implemented in apt-listbugs since 2012, and such low pins should prevent installations/upgrades of such pinned packages in Cupt unless they are unconditionally (or almost so [1]) requested. If that's the case, would you say I can close this bug now? We had a useful discussion with Francesco about possible future improvements here in the thread, but I think if we want to follow up on it I'll just open a new bug with a link to this one. [1] i.e. are absolute dependencies of something that is unconditionally requested, or are the only alternative to something really bad like removing essential packages or doing a bunch of downgrades. -- Eugene V.
