Stopping to build binaries without reverse dependencies is something Debian packages do all the time. It is in not a bug in the specific package to do so. Our infrastructure needs to be able to handle this. See e.g. https://packages.qa.debian.org/d/d-conf.html which dropped a transitional package in 0.26.1-1 and migrated without error. I am downgrading this bug because it now blocks the mariadb from transitioning to testing itself, hiding other possible problems. cu Andreas -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin.
