Bug#827829: giza-dev: file conflict with pgplot5: /usr/include/cpgplot.h
Control: severity -1 important Hi Andreas, to justify the severity: Since pgplot5 is in non-free which is formally not part of Debian, why do you think it is a policy violation when giza-dev has an undeclared conflict with it? https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-archive.html#s-main "The main archive area comprises the Debian distribution. Only the packages in this area are considered part of the distribution." Therefore, I would consider this as non-RC. Best regards Ole
