Package: amazon-ec2-utils Version: 1.3+git20200518-2 Severity: important Tags: patch X-Debbugs-CC: helmut@subdivi.de Dear Maintainer(s), amazon-ec2-utils currently uses dpkg-divert to place an empty 60- cdrom_id.rules udev rule in /lib. udev fully supports overrides and masking, so using diversions is not necessary, and this is the only package in Debian that uses dpkg diversion to do so. This has come to our attention as part of the usrmerge transition, as diversions of files in /lib could be problematic to complete the transition. It is more desirable to use the supported masking method anyway, as the rest of the system is already doing. MR with the solution open on Salsa: https://salsa.debian.org/cloud-team/amazon-ec2-utils/-/merge_requests/2 I have tested this in a chroot with 'udevadm test', and seems to work as expected. I would like to propose shipping this in Bullseye already, and I am willing to do the work w.r.t unblock requests, and even NMU if you are short on time. Thanks! -- Kind regards, Luca Boccassi
