Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal Tags: bullseye User: release.debian....@packages.debian.org Usertags: pu X-Debbugs-Cc: comp...@packages.debian.org Control: affects -1 + src:compton
[ Reason ] * Remove 'Recommends' for 'picom' which is a fork of compton, thus another X11 compositor. We should not be installing two packages of this type when only one asked for by the user. * Also changed maintainer to me as I am this for the package and any queries should be aimed at myself and n0t the QA group. [ Impact ] The user will get two X11 compositors plus dependencies when they only wished for compton alone. We should never install not asked for packages on a users system. [ Tests ] The fix has been extensively tested by me. I have done build, install and upgrade tests with no negative results. [ Risks ] None. [ Checklist ] [X] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog [X] I reviewed all changes and I approve them [X] attach debdiff against the package in (old)stable [X] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable [ Other info ] Unsure of validity to be a 'oldstable-pu', but will submit as I believe something that affects the user in this way is of importance.
