The problem is that: The bug was filed by one of the udisks maintainers, so you could always ask him directly ;-). > 1. bilibop-rules already works fine with udisks2; in fact it works fine > with both udisks and udisks2 (which do not conflict and can be installed on > the same system as documented in udisks package itself) > > 2. udisks (version 1.x) is still present in sid and jessie, so it seems to > not be so much deprecated It's possible the udisks maintainers are hoping to remove udisks from sid and jessie, which they can't do as long as anything depends on it. So bugs such as the one you're referring to would be the first step in the process. > 3. the Recommends: field already says 'udisks | udisks2': how to do > better ? Is there a difference if I replace it by 'udisks2 | udisks' ? If you simply "Recommends: udisks2", then you can close the bug. Users who still use udisks won't be affected, your package will still work with it as long as they keep it installed. Regards, Stephen
