Source: iptables-persistent Version: 1.0.19 Severity: important Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer, As systemd maintainer, I stumbled upon this package recently, and noticed it is the only package in Debian that uses alternatives to manage aliases. systemd natively supports alternative names for units, via the Alias= option. Alternatives do not fit with the standard behaviour and expectations regarding units. Alternatives are not natively supported and understood by systemd, and are not integrated (eg: no reload is performed when they switch, relationships are not clearly displayed, and actual aliasing is not performed, instead they are full copies that run the exact same commands again), using the native mechanism is preferred and recommended by the Debian systemd maintainers, as it makes mainteinance and support streamlined and brings it inline with common expectations. A MR changing this is open on Salsa: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/iptables-persistent/-/merge_requests/5 Please consider merging and uploading this, as I would like to have this fixed for Bookworm. I can take care of the necessary paperwork with the release team to request an unblock, to save you time. Thank you! -- Kind regards, Luca Boccassi
