In squeeze, in fact all architecture-dependant packages are already installable (except for kfreebsd-*). That is, the only non-installable packages are packages with Architecture=all. These could be excluded, too, from future releases by editing the Packages files for the different architecture, if the release team wants to do that additional work. BTW: these checks are now also enabled for stable updates and stable proposed updates (http://edos.debian.net/edos-debcheck/stable.php, scroll down the page). > 2) No packages with (detectable) conflicts are shipped as part of a > release.

As above: we should > mention it, either as current status or as future improvement. If such an error occurs (two packages claiming the same path name) I file a bug with severity=serious anyway. Still, it might be worthwhile to announce this as a release goal, just to make it public that we have performed this QA check. -Ralf. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
