In that case, perhaps those who are most vocally in favour of enforcing build-time javascript minification would care to work on a debhelper addon to do so (similar to how dh-autoreconf makes dealing with autoconf messiness easier as well)? After all, the people spearheading build reproducibility in Debian got where they are today by actively fixing toolchain issues and providing patches to make packages build reproducibly, not by engaging in repetitive discussions on debian-devel or forcing maintainers to deal with build reproducibility by themselves. Choosing to whack people on the head with Policy (or equivalent) instead is likely to be more counterproductive than anything else. Regards, Vincent

Again, according to Policy 10.1, as well as precedent that was established by the CTTE decision regarding the namespace collision between ax25-node vs. nodejs, no, it isn't; your argument is no different from that of the nodejs maintainers, arguing that /usr/bin/node should be taken over by nodejs simply because it's already widely used by the nodejs community. If you feel strongly enough about this issue, I'd suggest filing a bug against debian-policy, going through the process and gathering consensus to change 10.1 (e.g. perhaps by weakening it to a "should" instead of a "must", or by proposing a carefully-worded exception to existing policy).

My concern with autoremoving packages from backports is that it would take an extended amount of time to get the package back into backports after the RC bug is fixed; it'd have to go through the backports NEW queue again, whereas packages in unstable don't need to take a detour through the NEW queue in order to re-migrate to testing. It'd be even more annoying for folks who contribute backported packages but aren't actually the maintainers of the package; they may well be caught by surprise when a RC bug that they didn't know about causes their backports to be autoremoved, especially if it was a RC bug that only had an impact in testing/unstable, and not in a stable+backports environment.

On the contrary, in experimental, gnome-shell depends on gnome-settings-daemon, which in turn depends on systemd. I wouldn't be surprised if this is one of the reasons sid still has version 3.4 of the shell, rather than the latest upstream version (3.8). If/when gnome-shell 3.8 hits unstable and systemd gets forced on end users as well...I dare say that the general outcry here on debian-devel would make the past network-manager related threads look tame in comparison.

We should also suggest that packages use
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo instead (-g -O2). In fact, I think
that this would be a sensible default for packages using debhelper's
cmake integration. Sounds like another wishlist bug for debhelper...
