MIR question: upstream code in main pulled in code we have in universe

[Andreas Hasenack]

Hi, I have a question for the MIR (Main Inclusion Request) team members,

New version of nfs-utils upstream (src:nfs-utils in main) pulled[1] in
code (regex.c file) from another upstream project[2], for which we
have a package in universe: src:libnfsidmap-regex

Would this require another MIR review? I mean, in general, once a
package is in main, we don't apply the MIR guidelines to it anymore,
and they can usually change the code as the project sees fit.
It just so happens this time we have this exact scenario where the
code that was pulled already exists and is the sole purpose of
another, universe, package.

My options are basically:
a) have src:nfs-utils build bin:libnfsidmap-regex and remove
src:libnfsidmap-regex from the archive
b) build src:nfs-utils without producing bin:libnfsidmap-regex, and
keep building src:libnfsidmap-regex from universe as usual

Option (b) will incurr in delta with debian. I believe[3] Debian will
eventually remove/obsolete src:libnfsidmap-regex
