Summarising my question about how to deal with an example RC bug that affects
some dependency tree of some team:
1. Prefer NMU which solves the problem quickly. I do not volunteer to
do this since I do not consider it sustainable in the said situation.
2. Prefer package salvaging (which I did now #1068561 but its a lengthy
process that will trigger another series of testing removal warnings
in between)
3. Two responses would agree to an alternative way which are not backed up
by any procedure we agreed upon so I will not do this. I wonder whether
we can use this as some input to simplify / shorten the salvage process
or whether we should move on as before.
Additional remark: When reading the PackageSalvaging FAQ[1] I realised
that my way to talk about examples might be considered finger pointing
no matter whether I write that this is not intended. I understand I was
wrong here and I'm sorry about doing so. I do not intend to do this in
future any more.
Kind regards
Andreas.
