[$] Debian Technical Committee overrides systemd change

Monday October 13, 2025. 06:59 PM , from LWN.net
Debian packagers have a great deal of latitude when it comes to the
configuration of the software they package; they may opt, for example,
to disable default
features in software that they feel are a security
hazard. However, packagers are expected to ensure that their packages
comply with Debian Policy,
regardless of the upstream's preferences. If a packager fails to
comply with the policy, the Debian Technical
Committee (TC) can step in to override them, which it has
done in the case of a recent systemd change that broke several
programs that depend on a world-writable /run/lock
directory.
