Hi Lukas and Michael,

Thank you for your work on this large transition.

I am confused.

The gensio bug was reported with severity serious, against the version
of gensio in unstable, which prevents transition to testing.

I don't understand what action is being requested.  If the bug cannot be
fixed, it should not be filed (or not filed as serious).

Additionally, there are other bugs impacting these packages and their
symbol files, which I have addressed.  They will create a conflict with
the proposed NMU, so the NMU will need to be refreshed before being
applied.

Now the bug is reopened asking me to roll back the same patch that the
bug was opened for.  I could of course do that -- disentangling the
conflicts -- and close the bug with the upload.  But that would leave
gensio without the t64 libraries -- the same state it was in when you
reported the serious bug.

So which is it: is there a serious bug with gensio in unstable with the
t64 libraries, or without?  It cannot be both.

I don't think I've ever received a bug report, severity serious, tagged
patch, found in the version in unstable, where applying the patch is
somehow the wrong thing to do.

Please clarify what action I could take that would close this bug.

I may not be the only one confused here, and would be happy to have this
conversation on debian-devel if that would be more broadly useful.
