It didn't fix binNMU > co-installability, and made binMNU changelog entries less helpful. It may not have fixed binNMU co-installability on its own, but it looks to me as if it was a necessary part of solving that issue? Has it been superceded by changes in changelog handling for binNMUs (I vaguely recall some changes in this area but am not sure what the current state is)? i.e it's not clear to me that this should simply be reverted because it is 'misleading'. Not-breaking MA:same co-installability with binNMUs is an important goal IMHO. Wookey -- Principal hats: Linaro, Debian, Wookware, ARM http://wookware.org/
