Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

Please remove aufs from unstable. The linux-2.6 package now ships
the aufs module of aufs2 in a patch, and the aufs1 shipped in the
aufs package conflicts with it.

There is currently one dependency on aufs-tools by fsprotect,
which already received a critical bug report and whose maintainer
knows about the situation since a long time[0]; but was not
willing to fix his package. It also just does not work properly
with userspace tools for version 1 and a kernel module for version
2 of aufs; and could break other parts of the system.

Therefore, the removal of aufs seems to be the best solution.

Regards,
Julian
