WTF? Packages other than inetd daemons MUST NOT depend on update-inetd.
Doing that is WRONG.

Are common maintainer scripts problems documented somewhere ? It would
be very interesting to start a developers-reference chapter about such
things.

 If everything goes the way I want it to be, it won't be just lucas the one

I'll do that.

 and
 the full install/remove/purge test in etch (yeah, you know, there were some
 changes in etch since r0 that could make packages break).

That's not going to be easy.

Please choose randomly 100 packages that are in etch. Then run the test
you want to run using piuparts, and check that you don't find any FP.
Adapt piuparts if you find problems. Provide me with a (modified)
piuparts that does the test correctly, a list of (binary) packages in
etch that I should test, and an etch chroot (as a tarball) I can use to
test into.

IOW, please turn this from please fix piuparts for me to please
provide computing power.

Hmm, I wouldn't expect piuparts causing more FPs in etch than in lenny or sid;
though I'll check some packages just make sure.

 Fixing a RC bug means either of:
   * Uploading a NMU that fixes the bug to unstable. 
   * Convincing, with a mail that details the rationale, a release
 manager to tag the bug lenny-ignore. 
   * Convincing, in a similar way, a release manager to remove the
 package from lenny. 


So downgrading bugs to non-RC severity (with appropriate rationale)

Josselin Mouette wrote:

 we are currently very close to release lenny which is most likely going
 to be absolutely awesome.
 
 However, there are currently around 100 RC bugs remaining 

Apologies if this has already been brought up.

Using the number RC bugs that a present in lenny and sid is--in my
opinion--a rather misleading metric of bugs that require attention for
lenny.

This isn't just semantics; one obvious set of bugs that are missed here
are bugs that are only present in the upstream version correspending to
the version in lenny. We clearly care about these bugs.

Another example is that a fix that was uploaded to unstable and
unblocked for migration to lenny but it subsequently FTBFS on some arch.
Here, even if an explicit FTBFS bug is filed, it will only affects the
version in sid and will thus does not appear when applying the
bydist=both predicate.

I've found bugs in this category require considerably more work than
others, not only because they are typically indicative of a more serious
problem, but also because they require some syncing with -release and
the use of non-mainstream architectures.

Depending on update-inetd [was: Re: Bug Sprint - Oct 25 to Oct 30 - Register and eat cookies]

You mean like this one?

  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=502706

Can I refer to

  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=466114

and

  http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2007/07/msg01013.html



One thing I have noticed about this is that update-inetd
contains /usr/share/perl5/DebianNet.pm, but other implementations
don't, so what should a package using the perl interface do?

Thanks,

James
