Package: tech-ctte

[cc to syslinux maintainer, debian-release, debian-boot, leader]

Hi,

the background for this request can be found in bug#699382.  Here are
the highlights:
- the debian-installer source package, which builds the installer images
  for debian's releases, build-depends on syslinux
- the release freeze for wheezy started in June 2012, and is now in its
  final stages
- one of the prerequisites for the release is a release candidate for
  the installer
- the syslinux maintainer uploaded new upstream versions of his package
  to unstable, which were unsuitable for wheezy, in November 2012, and
  again at the end of January 2013
- the latest of these uploads breaks the installer, making it impossible
  to build and upload the planned wheezy release candidate, since
  build-dependencies are fetched from unstable
- when asked to revert this change, the syslinux maintainer refused, and
  said disagreements should be referred to the technical committee

The submitters consider this disregard for the Debian release process
not acceptable, and ask that the technical committee
- overrule the syslinux maintainer, and decide that the syslinux package
  in unstable should be reverted to the version currently in wheezy (or a
  version compatible with the release team's freeze policy), until
  the wheezy release
- rule that the syslinux package maintainer should be willing to
  collaborate with maintainers of its reverse-dependencies (and in
  particular the Debian Installer team) in a way that's compatible with
  Debian's release processes, and not against them.

The submitters sincerely hope that all parties can work together for a
speedy resolution to this problem, avoiding further delay to this
release.

Thanks,
Julien Cristau - for the release team
Cyril Brulebois - d-i release manager
