Bug#347169: X metapackage dependency check now obsolete?
Hi Josh,
I was looking at your lintian patch in #347169 with an eye to applying it,
but as near as I can tell, it's now unnecessary. Since you sent the
patch, xlibs-dev has been included in obsolete packages, so that part is
already done. The remaining section diagnoses dependencies on
x-window-system and x-window-system-dev, but the latter is no longer in
sid or etch and it looks like all dependencies are gone. We could still
diagnose dependencies on the former, I suppose, but it doesn't look like
anyone is currently making this mistake.
Do you think that this test, or some reduced version of it, is still worth
including in lintian?
