Hi,

in the light of the previous discussion I have a question to all voters.
Due to bug #1066377 more than 30 testing removal warnings hit my mailbox >today (I stopped counting after 30). While the Debian Med package
clustalo is the only package that's responsible for this due to its >Build-Dependency from libargtable2-dev there is quite some dependency

COVID-19 etc. This small lib is not a key package which is important

What do you think?

Andreas,

I'm interested to understand what you think this has to do with the DPL election or the role of the DPL within the project?

I would like to learn what options I have to realise paragraph

Packaging standards

of my platform.

Thanks.

Obviously the DPL has an outsized voice in Debian. When the DPL says something, it will tend to get more attention within the project.

Beyond that, what specific powers of the DPL will help you realize this goal? In other words, why do you need to be DPL to do this?
