Hi, I'm doing an small mass bug filing against obsolete transitional packages which are at least marked "dummy transitional" since the jessie release, though many of them existed already in wheezy. I think it's rather undoubtful those are normal bugs we want to get rid off.
According to a script of mine there are 102 such packages without bugs filed left (see dd-list below) and 71 such bugs I have already filed. Plus there are 33 packages which were transitional dummy packages in jessie and stretch and are gone from sid! (My script ignores iceweasel*, icedove*, thunderbird* lightning* and multiarch-support as those are… special.) This is an example bug: (though the 2nd paragraph is rather exceptional.)

I'm currently undecided whether I think it's useful to file wishlist bugs against transitional dummy packages which only are that since stretch. What do you think? Probably it's more useful to file wishlist bugs against packages depending on those… or should those be normal severity? -- cheers, Holger Adam Conrad <[email protected]> glibc (U) Alan Baghumian
