Sorry about that. > svn2cl is installable in wheezy, there's no needed for subversion 1.7. Indeed it is but then subversion-tools would end up being removed. That means that users would have to choose between subversion-tools (shipping svn2cl 0.11) or the svn2cl package (0.13). > Well, if you depended on subversion (>= 1.7), migration to testing would > be “linked” through this dependency. Ok, but the dependency is not otherwise strictly needed for technical reasons. > I'm not sure what you want us to do here. I guess it depends on where you think the subversion package is headed. If 1.7 will will be part of wheezy (1) not much else will need to happen. If it will ship with 1.6, I think either the svn2cl package will have to be removed (2) to avoid user confusion or the svn2cl component would have to be removed from the subversion-tools package (3) in wheezy. My personal preference would be 1, 3, 2 but for all of these input from the release team is needed and at least for option 3 cooperation from the subversion packagers is needed (Cc'd).
