Bug#1065416: Bastian's offer in #1065416
Hello kernel maintainers,
While potential solutions to this bug are being discussed, would you
please consider removing the Provides from linux-libc-dev?
They can be re-instated again later, in combination with the requested
symlinks, or the binary package can be transitioned to
cross-toolchain-base, or some other solution found. I would hope that we
can figure out the future of this package, without leaving
cross-building broken.
Last month, Sean asked you:
