I'm testing the upgrade and was surprised to see that tde-cdbs is priority important which, with the configuration we use here, means it is installed on all our boxes.
I haven't used cdbs but I thought it was something devs installed if they need it?
Also, FWIW, according to https://wiki.debian.org/CDBS it is deprecated in favor of Debhelper.
Hi Mike,
I'm surprised why tde-cdbs was installed. It's normally only needed for building TDE packages and no binary package depends on it - it's just a Build-Depends. If the reason for the installation was only priority important, that would be a good reason to change it to optional.
Regarding debhelper, yes we are aware that CDBS is being phased out and that it is a good idea to switch to pure debhelper. However, there are currently many useful things in tde-cdbs that will need to be gradually migrated away from using cdbs. So it will take some time.
