This has been done now, with the result of 172 open bugs about transitional packages which exists since at least jessie, sometimes wheezy. (Didnt check squeeze…) - plus an additional of 34 of those bugs which have been fixed since the stretch release. IOW: hopefully buster will get rid of 200 useless packages eventually. > I'm currently undecided whether I think it's useful to file wishlist bugs > against transitional dummy packages which only are that since stretch.

Next will be running this script on jenkins (then slightly changed), to point out packages in buster (which are not fixed in sid) with reverse dependencies to packages which are transitional packages since stretch. And then I might file some (normal) bugs then too, but I guess this will be in some time only… Plus, *once we've released buster* I plan to again file bugs, that time against transitional packages which have been traditional since stretch (and are still transitional in buster and sid). -- cheers, Holger
