    Update Standards-Version
    
    Checklist:
    
    Version 4.7.2
    
    10.1
    
    A change made the previous release of Policy is relaxed:
    
    Packages that already install programs to /usr/games, where another
    package installs a program of the same with different functionality to a
    different directory on the default PATH, may continue to do so.
    
    Packages must not install any newly conflicting programs to /usr/games, and packages already doing so are encouraged to move these programs to non-conflicting names.
    
    A: No package under /usr/games
    
    Version 4.7.1
    
    10.1
    
    Two different packages must not install programs with different
    functionality to the same filenames, even names under different
    directories, when the directories are on the default PATH.
    
    A: Ack
    
    10.1
    
    Packages must not install files to directories like /bin, /lib, /lib*
    and /sbin which are now symbolic links to corresponding directories
    under /usr. Packages may assume that /bin, /lib and /sbin are always
    symlinks, and that files under /usr/bin, /usr/lib and /usr/sbin are
    accessible via these aliases.
    
    A: No files installed under the forbidden directories
    
    10.9
    
    Packages should not require the existence of any files under
    /usr/share/locale in order to function in a C or C.UTF-8 locale.
    
    A: Ack
    
    12.1
    
    Packages (other than manpage readers) must not require the existence of
    any files under /usr/share/man.
    
    A: Ack
    
    12.2
    
    Packages (other than info readers) must not require the existence of any
    files in /usr/share/info.

testing migrations
  • excuses:
    • Migration status for bash-completion (1:2.16.0-7 to 1:2.16.0-8): Waiting for test results or another package, or too young (no action required now - check later)
    • Issues preventing migration:
    • ∙ ∙ Too young, only 3 of 5 days old
    • Additional info (not blocking):
    • ∙ ∙ Piuparts tested OK - https://piuparts.debian.org/sid/source/b/bash-completion.html
    • ∙ ∙ Autopkgtest for bash-completion/1:2.16.0-8: amd64: Failed (not a regression) ♻ (reference ♻), arm64: No tests, superficial or marked flaky ♻ (reference ♻), i386: Pass, ppc64el: Failed (not a regression) ♻ (reference ♻), riscv64: No tests, superficial or marked flaky ♻, s390x: No tests, superficial or marked flaky ♻
    • ∙ ∙ Autopkgtest for cyrus-imapd/3.12.1-2: amd64: Pass, arm64: Test triggered (failure will be ignored), i386: Failed (not a regression) ♻ (reference ♻), ppc64el: Pass, riscv64: Pass, s390x: Pass
