Right. But what would be a good way to achieve this? One possible way is to remove non-installable packages from the Packages file, by having dak run dose-debcheck. However, I do not think that we want to do this for sid, and even for a stable release we have to be careful since there may be legitimate cases where we want to include a package that is found to be non-installable. How does the release team feel about this? Having apt run dose-debcheck to filter out the non-installable packages is not an option IMHO as it takes about 20-30 seconds to run on a desktop machine. -Ralf. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
