Anything that does not break things for people in stretch when updating to buster would be excellent. But that is going to be a pain to do, so anything that warns people in stable that they will get broken and must install <rng-tools-debian/rng-tools-old> is IMHO *acceptable*. But please consider sending in a RELEASE NOTES snippet about it to the team responsible for the Buster RELEASE NOTES, and using NEWS.Debian in the rng-tools family of packages to convey that relevant information as well... IMHO, that would give users a chance to notice they might need to pay attention to rng-tools during the stretch->buster upgrade. Again, thank you guys for pushing a fix for a mess you did not create. And the one responsible for the broken NMU is, as far as I am concerned, owning everyone a pack of beverages, since he is the one that should have cleaned up the breakage he caused. -- Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <h...@debian.org>
