I'm sorry, but I'm now kinda lost in this discussion.
Where did I tell that it does *not* work that way?
- StrictPinning=yes means that only candidates (for both "root"
packages, i.e. those explicitly named by users on the command line,
and their dependencies) are considered. Full stop.
- StrictPinning=no means that all versions of all packages (root and
dependencies) are considered.
This was the case before the patches we are discussing, and will stay
that way even if they are applied.
If you want to be able to have independent StrictPinning settings for
"root" packages and dependencies, it could be done, but this is not what
the patches I've submitted are about. And it also seems to be largely
orthogonal to them.
Cheers.
