Yes, I will follow up on bug#1050087, and tag related bugs. > Would you > also be able reference other bugs in other packages that are > prerequisite to making progress?

No, I still find it relevant for bug#1050087 to not block work in unstable, and I therefore find this removal bug still relevant, except specific to the package in unstable. So I will not close the bugreport but do instead request reframing it to the narrower scope of only removing the package **in unstable**. rust-microformats now exists in experimental. The entanglement of debhelper dependencies being uninstallable at certain moments during the perl transition - which I doubt anyone has tracked as bugreports - is now in the past, and I do not plan on filing/tagging any bugreport related to that. Please go ahead and drop **unstable** rust-microformats (because the package now exists in its still broken form in experimental, where it should have been all along). - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ * Sponsorship: https://ko-fi.com/drjones [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
