Comment 8 for bug 279345

Sebastian, since we're on the subject, there are a couple hundred non-transitional packages which depend on transitional ones:

$ aptitude search '?depends(~dtransitional)?not(~dtransitional)'|wc -l
243

It seems a huge job for someone to go through all of those, verify them (the query it's probably not very precise) and create separate bugs for each. I think it would be more appropriate to create a generic bug like this one, which lists the problem and the query. Bug-fixers would just take the query and fix whatever they can, and perhaps add separate bugs for each issue they fix. Then, when the number of packages involved gets to a few dozen we can create the rest of the bugs. What do you think?
