[Bug 1521962] Re: [MIR] sysconfig

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

- Any reason this package is limitted to only s390 or 390x (I guess it
is regarding the chandev sysconfigs)? Maybe the binary package
description should reflect this in that case?

=> This package deals with CCW bus which is only available on s390[x]
systems. Indeed package description is quite minimal, for a key package
which one cannot boot without. However, it seems like this is based on
e.g. suse stuff, which could have been working on other architectures
for other things too. Meh. The description should be improved.

- I would prefer that most of our package entering main use --fail-
missing, any way to push that to debian?

=> Well.... =) i guess we could reshuffle everything, but at the moment
the source package, is pretty much the resultant .deb packages, sans
permutations.

- Format 3 would be nice yes.

- Packaging to be "normal" would be good too.

  Deals with supportable exotic hardware.
  No test-suite available.
  No watch file, debian native upstream.
