Package: mac-fdisk Version: 0.1-15 Severity: serious Tags: patch d-i The udebs do not get a correct dependency on libc6-udeb, but instead depend on the regular libc6 package. We've ignored this for previous releases, but for Squeeze it's RC because of britney support for udebs.
I originally thought this could be solved with a binNMU, but that turned out not to be enough. The basic reason is that the control file does not set the correct package type for the udeb. Doing that also allows to simplify debian/rules a bit as the package type triggers all the necessary magic for udebs in debhelper. I've build tested the attached patch on a porter box and to me the result looks good.
