Sorry, I haven't any spare time that I can offer up for helping with this, but I wanted to comment on one thing from your mail: > For etch, the following failures were considered RC, and it probably > makes sense to keep the same criteria for lenny: > piuparts failures: [...] > - not caused by the missing installation of packages that almost > everybody has installed anyway (ucf, debconf, adduser come to mind). > (so run piuparts with a custom --debfoster-options string) Are there really so many of these that they should not be considered RC as well? My memory from etch is that these were given etch-ignore tags, i.e., were ignored on a transitional basis; it would be a shame if we have so many more packages failing to depend on ucf/debconf/adduser now that we have to treat them as non-RC yet again. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
