Hi, I'm referenced for 55 packages. Please don't force me to do this right away, that's too much work. I very much would prefer if we could have a smoother transition. Note that it's possible that for many packages mentioned, only removing the dependency should be enough. Still, that's some work to do... :/ Other alternative would be: help with NMU fixes (or I can add any of you in the OpenStack team if you need...). Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo)
