Hi,
Please consider to cherry pick some of the aptly 1.0.0 changes and
backport them into the Debian version.
I noticed the two following of interest:
* aptly now supports -dbgsym packages while processing aptly repo include.
- debhelper in stretch will create -dbgsym by default, so it will be
rather unfortunate if we ship tools that do not cope with them
* .xz compression format is supported for mirrors (index files).
- The FTP masters want to remove .gz index files post stretch. This fix
would (hopefully) mean that aptly can still mirror the buster archive
if we drop .xz.
I have not isolated the actual changes, so I cannot comment on whether
they are applicable for a freeze-exception.
Thanks,
~Niels
