Hi Aurelien, If the goal is to make testing free of packages (Pre-)Depending on multiarch-support, then removing clsync from testing is also an option AFAICT. I am considering since clsync has had its FTBFS bug against sid for almost 2 years now with no reaction from its maintainers. Thanks, ~Niels
