I can't think of any. It's always a big deal to require Pre-Depends, but in this case, I think it's the right thing to do. I'd like to explicitly mention that in the wording (with a note that the Pre-Depends needs to be discussed in debian-devel), though, since it's always worth making people stop and think about Pre-Depends. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-policy-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
