Package: collectd
Version: 5.12.0-8
Severity: serious
Justification: rc policy: "packages must be buildable within the same release"
collectd build-depends on liboping-dev, which is rc buggy and was removed from
testing recently in an attempt to finish off the perl transition. This makes
collectd rc buggy in testing.
Potential soloutions (in descending order of preference)
1. Fix liboping, it seems there is a patch available but there has been no
maintainer response for months and I won't NMU myself because I have no
idea how to test it.
2. Disable liboping support in collectd (the fact that the runtime
relationship is only a reccomends makes me suspect that this relates
to optional functionality).

Hi,
I fail to understand why you are opening this bug at all.
collectd would have been removed from testing automatically anyway, people
are notified about that.
It basically adds the extra work of tracking and closing this bug manually.
If you want to add such bugs, please link them properly to the bugs that
caused the issue and make sure that it is closed automatically as soon as the
issue is fixed.
Best would be not to open bugs at all, its just a waste of ressources.
