Bug#1053901: tech-ctte: Repeal merged-/usr file movement moratorium



* Sean Whitton <spwhitton@spwhitton.name> [2023-10-13 21:59]:
=== BEGIN

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 driving the merged-/usr transition before
moving files from the root filesystem to corresponding locations under
/usr in the data.tar.* of packages.

The transition driver, which at the time of writing is Helmut Grohne, is
using a phased approach, in which the moratorium is rolled back for only
certain classes of packages, and changes, at a time.  In addition,
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 driver(s).  If there is any doubt as to whether a change
you wish to make is appropriate, please seek explicit approval from the
transition driver(s).

OPTION N:

None of the above.

=== END

I vote

A > N

Cheers
Timo
