Thanks for the good writeup, I missed it. > Sure it would be great to have one less caveat for upgrating to compat > 12. But mostly release compat 12 before buster was to ensure people > could assume compat 12 was present in buster (and less about stretch). I see. I was forced to compat 12 by #887904 for shibboleth-sp back in August, and now we try to backport it to stretch. Working around #887904 on compat 11 does not seem a simple exercise for me, that's why I decided to pursue an init-system-helpers backport. Please correct me if I overlook something. > Related note (with my RT hat on): Please defer debhelper compat bumps > for anything targeting buster as it is not considered a "minimal change". I didn't even think of such things. :) However, now that you reminded me, I've got a tricky minimal change for your RT hat, let me put that forward as well... -- Thanks, Feri
