Bug#994275: Call for votes on "Reverting breaking changes in debianutils"



Thank you very much for starting this vote, Sean.

I vote A > B > F.

> > === Resolution A ===
> >
> > The Technical Committee resolves:
> >
> > 1. The debianutils package must continue to provide the which(1) program
> >    until a compatible utility is available in a package that is at least
> >    transitively essential in Debian 12.
> >
> >    For the Debian 12 release, we expect which(1) to be in either an
> >    Essential package or a transitively Essential package (that is, a
> >    package that is depended on by an Essential package).
> >
> > 2. The which(1) program must not print any deprecation warnings.
> >
> > 3. We decline to overrule the maintainer of debianutils regarding the
> >    use of alternatives.  If another package takes over responsibility
> >    for which(1), then the debianutils maintainers and the other
> >    package's maintainers should coordinate to choose a suitable
> >    mechanism, which might be either versioned Depends/Breaks/Replaces,
> >    dpkg-divert, alternatives or something else.
