[DRAFT] tech-ctte: Repeal merged-/usr file movement moratorium



Hello,

Any feedback on the following?

===================================

Package: tech-ctte

I call for votes on the following resolution.
Voting lasts for one week or until the outcome is no longer in doubt.

=== BEGIN DRAFT BALLOT

OPTION A:

The Technical Committee formally repeals its moratorium recommending
that maintainers of individual packages should not proactively move
files from the root filesystem to corresponding locations under /usr in
the data.tar.* of packages (see #1035831).

Under Constitution 6.1.5, the Technical Committee now recommends that
maintainers consult with those leading the merged-/usr transition before
moving files from the root filesystem to corresponding locations under
/usr in the data.tar.* of packages.

The transition leaders are using a phased approach, in which the
moratorium is rolled back for only certain classes of packages, and
changes, at a time.  In addition, they request that restructuring
uploads should be targeted at experimental, and left for three days.
This is in order that automated testing by dumat can occur.

We recommend following <https://wiki.debian.org/UsrMerge> as edited by
the transition leaders.  If there is any doubt as to whether a change
you wish to make is appropriate, seek explicit approval from the
transition leaders.

OPTION N:

None of the above.

=== END DRAFT BALLOT
