Worse, it is really hard to find in scripts and other things due to its short name. Removing it will be non-trivial. I suggest asking d-devel@l.d.o for confirmation first. debianutils has dropped tempfile and that didn't go too well. Also adding NEWS likely is helpful. As much as I hope that nobody uses raw, I don't believe it. Better communicate this well than receive a tech-ctte bug over it. Helmut

Indeed. Linux commit: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/603e4922f1c81fc2ed3a87b4f91a8d3aafc7e093 Thanks for reporting! I will disable the raw(8) tool. Chris

util-linux fails to build from source in unstable on amd64. I think the
relevant bits are:

I suspect that linux dropped the header and that way makes util-linux
FTBFS.
