Hi,
I would like to bring up the issue of removed packages. I think
it is problematic that sometimes packages get removed, with no
automatic transition [a transitional package, or another package
depending on a replacement package or conflicting with the old
one], and no active notification to th

Suppose package P contains files /usr/bin/B1 and /usr/bin/B2. B1
is the important program, and B2 is not as important. Is it OK
for the declared package dependencies to not satisfy all the

thing I'm doing changes compiled output files anyway) - so
timestamps shouldn't affect anything. Some of them just produce

Hi,
I'm doing something that involves building every Debian package,
and I'm finding (usually minor) discrepancies between what I build
from source packages, and the binary packages uploaded by
maintainers. I'm building each package in its own chroot which
