Control: affects -1 + src:net-tools
[ Reason ]
This upload is required to be able to remove dnprogs from bullseye,
which we should because it's obsolete and it does not build from source.
[ Impact ]
If this is not approved, we would be shipping bullseye with a package which
does not build from source (dnprogs).
[ Tests ]
I've compared the build with and without the build-depends using diffoscope,
and the package is the same. This means the build-dependency is not even used.
[ Risks ]
Low risk, given the above.
[ 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
[ Changes ]
Drop libdnet-dev from build-depends.
[ Other info ]
- I'll wait for approval before upload.
- This has the form of a sponsored upload because I offered to file this bug
and care about the related bureaucracy. Maintainer (Martina) has already put
the changes in salsa, from where I extracted the dendiff.
