Control: tags -1 + pending Hello Laurent Bigonville.
Thanks for the patch. It looks good and has been applied to my git repo.

As discussed yesterday on IRC, we'll be the first essential package to pull in libudev1. Some summary here for the record: Since it seems reasonably small (including dependencies = 190+48+30+196+639, where libpcre3 followed by libselinux1 are the biggest ones) it should be ok. Specially since the patch sets up stage1 build profile which means we should not be adding any additional burden on bootstrapping. Most of all I think that atleast currently the udev dependency doesn't enable much features, which means if we spot any problems we should be able to get away with just reverting this and disabling those features which I think it's quite unlikely that anyone picks up and relies heavily on in the very imminent future. Additionally I think the policy violation of depending on a lower priority package doesn't need much consideration anymore since the work on changing the policy to not need lib* packages priority bumped seems to not be running into any real issues, even if it's (TTBOMK) not yet done. I'm adding the recursive lib* packages to CC and asking maintainers that if you pick up any new dependencies (which I guess is quite unlikely, but still) could you please alert me (util-li...@packages.debian.org) in advance? Affected packages are: libudev1, libcap2, libattr1, libselinux1, libpcre3 On a related note: Given that libudev1 in turn depends on libcap2, I think I remember that there where some other feature someone wanted enabled that would pull in libcap2. We should probably also look into enabling that now that we pull in libcap2 anyway...... Regards, Andreas Henriksson
