Adam, Julien and I talked about this in #d-qa today and it turns out that Britney cannot reliably distinguish between RC bugs affecting source packages and RC bugs affecting binary packages. If a source package produces and identically named binary (e.g. src:eclipse produces a binary named eclipse), it usually doesn't matter which of them gets the "blame". The problem is when a binary has the same name as a source that _doesn't_ built it. An example in the archive being: source:sm builds binary r-cran-sm, source:screen-message builds binary sm If a BugsV file contains "sm 123456" Britney will assume that RC bug applies to _both_ the source package "sm" and the binary "sm" (and thus "screen-message"). ~Niels -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
