Package: release.debian.org User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org Usertags: unblock Severity: normal X-Debbugs-CC: 686182@bugs.debian.org X-Debbugs-CC: debian-l10n-english@lists.debian.org Hi release team, I wonder if we should consider removing the grub dummy package from the grub source package. grub 0.97-64 (in Squeeze) is already a dummy package that depends on grub-pc, and this dummy package ships an RC-buggy (#686182) debconf screen. Since grub-legacy (even 0.97-64) already provides grub, the few remaining rdepends*, if any remains, shouldn't be affected Regards David P.-S.: grub-disk, grub-doc and multiboot-doc could probably be dropped too. I haven't yet seriously looked into it since it would not be actual RC-bug fixing, let me know if I should consider removing them too. P.-P.-S.: *only startupmanager depends on grub | grub-pc, a few other packages may still have grub among their suggestions.
