Re: [kfreebsd] massive report for uninstallable FUSE packages

[Robert Millan <rmh@debian.org>]

After receiving some feedback which allowed me to improve the
template, this is the message I intend to use for the bug reports:

Package: %package%
Severity: important
User: debian-bsd@lists.debian.org
Usertags: kfreebsd

Hi

This package is not installable on kfreebsd-i386 or kfreebsd-amd64 because it
depends unconditionally on fuse-utils.

If %package% depends on fuse-utils only to ensure that FUSE support is enabled,
please consider adjusting the dependency to something like:

  Depends: fuse [linux-any] | fuse4bsd [kfreebsd-any]

  (example uses "fuse" because fuse-utils is now a transitional package that
  depends on fuse)

Else if %package% depends on fuse-utils because it works better when the
fusermount command is available, but this is not an essential requirement,
please consider lowering it to a recommendation, like:

  Recommends: fuse

  (example uses "fuse" because fuse-utils is now a transitional package that
  depends on fuse)

Else if %package% depends on fuse-utils because it can't work at all without
fusermount, please reply to this bug report so we can try to find a solution.

Thanks!
