Bug Description
(Spawned from informal discussion at Frankfurt)
Rationale:
- Upstream has very little activity [1];
- Bugs filed against the project are mostly not watched/triaged;
- Bugs filed against the package do get triaged but are never
prioritized, and fixes are normally not SRUed;
- I don't think the package would have the MIR requirements [4] today;
- Possibly anecdotal: I don't think the package has widespread usage.
Currently we have:
$ reverse-depends -c main byobu
* ubuntu-server
* ubuntu-server-raspi [arm64 armhf]
* ubuntu-wsl [amd64 arm64]
so we'd only need to change src:ubuntu-meta to demote.
Side effects:
The run-one package is seeded as a dependency of byobu, it has no other reverse dependencies in main. To be evaluated if it makes sense to explicitly seed it or demote it too.
