Bug#652011: Please revert original bug title
unmerge 652011
retitle 652011 general: Repeated pattern of FHS violation: Dependencies of /sbin and /bin, belong in /lib
reassign 652011 general
# effectively unresolvable as a general bug; to further pursue this would
# require specific bugs filed against specific packages
close 652011
thanks

Fair enough. In that case, I'm going to just close this bug on the
grounds that there's nothing debian-policy can do about your original
report. Policy already says what you want it to say currently, and a bug
against general for the overall class of problem is essentially completely
futile in Debian -- it won't produce any meaningful result. So,
basically, this bug has wandered off in a completely different direction
than you intended, and I don't think it's still doing anyone any good.
We didn't arrive at any conclusion about dropping the separation and no
one is pursuing this right now, so I don't think there's much point in
keeping the wishlist bug against Policy open anyway. We can always file a
new bug if we want to pursue the problem.
