Package: libjpeg-turbo-progs
Version: 1:1.3.1-4
Severity: serious
Changelog says:
* Remove dummy libjpeg-progs from libjpeg-turbo
I wonder why is the reason for this.
The result of removing the dummy package is that the user has to
approve the upgrade by hand because there are packages that are
*removed*. This is what currently happens in an upgrade from testing
to unstable:
The following packages will be REMOVED:
libjpeg-progs
That will be also what will happen in an upgrade from current stable
to testing if we allow this package to enter testing.
Upgrades are smoother if we have dummy packages like this one. Having
smooth upgrades has been always one of the goals of Debian.
Please do not make the upgrade more tricky by dropping dummy packages.
I'm using severity serious here not because I want to delay the
release of jessie or I think this package should be removed from the
distribution, only to prevent the dummy package to disappear from
testing.
Thanks.
