- run the commands "grep-excuses libept; grep-excuses libept/i386" - look for any Depends: lines - look at the testing transition page for those dependencies on bjorn.haxx.se: http://bjorn.haxx.se/debian/testing.pl?package=apt - if it looks hairy, ask That's going to catch 99% of the problematic cases, and is far more scalable than to have the release team try to notify all affected maintainers whenever there's an ongoing transition. (Perhaps not more scalable than having dput warn, but the above is something any maintainer can do for themselves today.) -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
