Hi Sylvestre,
The mozillavpn package has a versioned dependency on resolvconf (>= 1.82).
According to the changelog, this is not a particularly interesting version
of resolvconf, as it contains only string/translation changes.
And a versioned dependency on resolvconf prevents removing resolvconf in
favor of one of the other providers of this interface, openresolv and
systemd-resolved, which Provide: resolvconf but as an unversioned Provide:.
In Ubuntu where we have standardized on systemd-resolved, this was the last
dependency preventing removal of resolvconf from the Ubuntu 22.10 release.
Since keeping it around as an alternative to systemd-resolved may induce
users to do various things that break their systems, I have uploaded the
attached patch to Ubuntu, which has allowed us to remove the resolvconf
package. I believe this would be a correct change to also include in the
package in Debian.
Thanks for considering,
