I had a conversation with the upstream pip maintainer. In theory it may be possible. In practice it's often a nightmare to go backwards. I'm willing to help try to make that happen if others are also willing to help. >It is not sustainable to expect maintainers to reverse dependencies to fix >breakage with out giving them advance notice. Since python-bleach has >autopkgtests defined, it would have been easy to find out if an update of >python-html5lib would break it or not using a tool like build-and-upload >script from pkg-ruby-extras team [1] I'm not sure why you think I'd know anything about an obscure Ruby tool. I still contend that Debian ought to have automatic promotion gating on reverse dependency building and testing. All that aside, if someone wants to help put together a git branch that properly reverts html5lib to seven-9's, I will gladly review and test it with pip, and upload it if it looks okay.
