[debhelper-devel] Bug#782596: RFC: possible wheezy-pu: package debhelper to address #708218 for wheezy?

[Salvatore Bonaccorso]

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal

Hi Stable release managers,

This is not a wheezy-pu request per se. The recent libxrender update
through security.d.o was initially just a rebuild of libxrender
against a fixed version of libx11. This caused #782505 ("libxrender1:
dist-upgrade breaks on multiarch due to conflict on
changelog.Debian.gz").

The fix for debhelper in #708218 didn't make it into wheezy so binNMUs
in wheezy for multiarch enabled packages will have the problem.

Would it make sense to have an update of debhelper in wheezy fixing
this issue as well?

Regards,
Salvatore
