Yes. In this case, I meant starting with raising the bug severity to allow esound to be removed from Testing. And then removal from Unstable can follow once there aren't any rdeps. That takes a while for libraries but we were able to remove libunique3 from both Testing and Unstable this year. >> - gconf-editor (no rdeps, we really want to discourage gconf use) > > On one hand, we want to kill off gconf altogether; on the other hand, > as long as gconf hasn't been fully removed, perhaps it makes sense to > have its editor too? That makes sense, as long as the list of gconf-using packages in Testing is so long, it doesn't really help us much to drop gconf-editor early. Thanks, Jeremy Bicha
