Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: critical

lsbdev provides an LSB development environment via a chroot with bind
mounts. This system is complicated and buggy(4 RC bugs, 4 non-RC), it
affects other packages on the system (interferes with upgrades) and
has caused data loss due to misunderstandings and bugs in bind
mounting. Overall it sucks and upstream has mostly abandoned this
approach and has switched to a compiler wrapper system instead. I
believe it is possible to re-implement this system in a way that
doesn't rely on bind mounting, but until this is done upstream, this
package does not belong in Debian. 

Please remove from testing and unstable.

I'd also like to apologize for taking so long to make the decision to
remove this package.
