Re: DEP 17: Improve support for directory aliasing in dpkg



* Luca Boccassi <bluca@debian.org> [2023-04-28 10:12]:
Which part of config-package-dev causes a conflict here? Is it
something that can be fixed? Given it's declarative, an upload + rdeps
rebuild should be all that's needed, assuming we know what the issue
is and how to fix it. As far as I can remember, it's a build-time
utility and everything it does is embedded in the target package's
maintainer scripts. But it's been a few years since I last used it, so
I might remember wrongly.

You remember correctly. It is relatively straight-forward to patch
config-package-dev to create additional diversions for files in /
and /usr (if we decide that is the way forward), but admins will
have to rebuild their local config packages for these changes to
take effect.


Cheers
Timo
