[Bug 279345] Re: [intrepid] some packages still depend on dummy package libcupsys2

[Bogdan Butnaru]

Sebastian, since we're on the subject, there are a couple hundred non-
transitional packages which depend on transitional ones:

$ aptitude search '?depends(~dtransitional)?not(~dtransitional)'|wc -l
243

It seems a huge job for someone to go through all of those, verify them
(the query it's probably not very precise) and create separate bugs for
each. I think it would be more appropriate to create a generic bug like
this one, which lists the problem and the query. Bug-fixers would just
take the query and fix whatever they can, and perhaps add separate bugs
for each issue they fix. Then, when the number of packages involved gets
to a few dozen we can create the rest of the bugs. What do you think?
