In our freeze policy [1] we requested packages that are part of the (build-)essential set to stop uploading to unstable. binutils is listed there [2]. """ If you think changes are needed anyway, please coordinate with the release team before uploading to unstable. Consider staging changes in experimental. """ So, can you please clarify why you think these changes are needed? What are the risks of including or not including these changes? How are the risks mitigated?
