What to do with partman-hfs?



Hi Holger and partman-hfs maintainers,

So we have that package that's a little weird:

    partman-hfs | 4             | unstable/contrib | source, all

And we have calc-release-status that computes the translation-status
file, so that we can make an informed decision based on the selected
language. That script uses rmadison to check the version in testing
for each component, and that package doesn't migrate:
  https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/partman-hfs

I don't think it can migrate without help, since hfs-modules is only
built on non-release archs as I understand it, which don't match those
where the release team tests installability:

    kibi@tokyo:~/debian-kernel/linux.git (sid=)$ find -name hfs-modules
    ./debian/installer/modules/hfs-modules
    ./debian/installer/modules/m68k/hfs-modules
    ./debian/installer/modules/powerpc/hfs-modules
    ./debian/installer/modules/powerpc-powerpc64/hfs-modules

Until partman-hfs (possibly) hits testing, I'm tempted to ignore it
in calc-release-status, instead of dropping it entirely from the
l10n infrastructure: I suppose the latter would mean lower chances for
translators to work on this package?


Cheers,
