I'm assuming the relevant part of that bug report would be the handling of
libfam on upgrade?
Let's assign a copy of that report to libfam0 for consideration.
Chuan-kai, I know we've gone over this upgrade path repeatedly in the past
:), and at the time the solution implemented seemed reasonable. Now we have
further evidence that this upgrade path might not work so well. Do you
think it would be reasonable for libfam0 to Replace: libfam0c102 (<
2.7.0-11), without the current Conflicts:?

This one should be addressed as soon as initrd-tools gets back into testing,
which I've just bumped the urgency on, so it should be available on the
mirrors within the next 24 hours. Kurt, I don't know if you're in a
position to test this again after that? If not, I'll probably assume that
this fixes the upgrade problem you reported and close this report since the
problems in your report otherwise appear to be resolved or reported
elsewhere.

Hmm, disappointing. :/ I really wish aptitude's implementation of
"dist-upgrade" was more in line with the intended meaning and would be more
aggressive in its search for solutions...
