[$] 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.
