Thanks for the interesting discussion. It's good to know that I may have
misunderstood the policy!
Anyway, for the benefit of any potential sponsors of this RC NMU RFS,
I'd just like to summarise what is in my proposed upload and why:
1. calcurse includes a decent test suite
2. one of these tests reads an iCal file which specifies a timezone in
short form ("CET").
3. since the short codes got split into the 'tzdata-legacy' package the
existing build (and runtime) dependencies are no longer sufficient for
this test to succeed.
4. therefore I have modified a B-D so that this nice package can feature
in trixie.
5. I also added a Recommends to avoid people upgrading from Bookworm
suffering a silent regression.
It is possible that the authors are "wrong" and the application should
accept the long form instead of the short form. I don't think that would
be a matter for this NMU although one could dispute the Recommends.
Thanks!
