adrienhey, is there anyone moderating ubuntu-devel-discuss@ ? it would be great to validate my mails :)   (I sent one and I'll send another one in a couple minutes)12:30
adrien(now :) )12:34
adrienalso, would an @canonical.com mail address help? migrating away from gmail and switching back to @canonical.com once I have sieve set up is one of my new year's resolution12:35
tsimonq2schopin: Recommends to Suggests> Not explicitly removed, no. Might be marked for autoremoval. juliank would know for sure.12:42
tsimonq2schopin: I believe there is an LP project for Ubuntu release notes; let me double check that and grab you a linl.12:43
tsimonq2https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes12:43
tsimonq2I've seen that used recently.12:43
juliankschopin: downgrades to Suggests are removed by ubuntu-release-upgrader; but not by the normal apt policy (u-r-u overrides the policy to not consider suggests important)12:44
tsimonq2adrien: You'd have to look at the list administrator page to see. ;) I would imagine @canonical.com would help12:44
juliankschopin: I picked this as a compromise, because suggested packages enhance software you have installed, hence you may have gotten used to them being around and removing them in the release would break your workflow12:44
jbichajuliank: is that the same behavior on Debian?12:45
jbicha(except for the lack of a release upgrader)12:45
juliankyeah, so Debian never gets suggests removed :D12:46
schopinjuliank: tsimonq2: thanks for the info.12:51
bdmurrayschopin: there is an ubuntu-release-notes project so you can add a bug task for that.17:41
bdmurrayah tsimonq2 mentioned it also17:42
