Dear Maintainer(s), This is an Intent to Salvage bug as per process defined in Policy 5.12: https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/pkgs.en.html#package-salvaging https://wiki.debian.org/PackageSalvaging The integration tests of some of my packages rely on swtpm in order to function. The current state of the swtpm package is: - out of 9 uploads in total, only the first 2 are maintainer uploads over its history, in Jan and Feb 2022 (more than 3 years ago) - out of 9 uploads in total, the most recent 7 uploads are unacknowledged NMUs - multiple upstream releases have not been uploaded, despite a bug asking for them #1025738 - multiple unanswered bugs, including a transition (fuse -> fuse3) I believe these conditions qualify for the salvaging process as defined in the policy and wiki pages linked above. Therefore, if there are no objections or alternative proposals, in 3 weeks from now (2025/09/22) I will do an ITS upload to DELAYED/7 with the salvaging operation. A similar ITS bug will be filed for libtpms, as these packages go in tandem, and the situation is similar.
