Please demote faumachine to -proposed

Hi,

I'm currently working on a new release of FAUmachine.

In debian, we just removed the binaries to not block the libpng transition, see DBTS 821874. Maybe this is the way to go for Ubuntu as well?

Cheers,
  Stefan.

Hi Stefan

Thanks for the feedback. I believe demoting faumachine to -proposed will have the desired effect. I've adjusted the bug title accordingly.

Graham

Thanks!

Just for reference: New upstream release + files for debian are prepared and will hopefully get uploaded soon.

I assume we best wait until it's in Debian and then sync it?

If it lands before August 18 - Yakkety DebianImportFreeze[1] - it will sync automatically.

No reverse dependencies, no Ubuntu delta, it's cheap to readd this once it's fixed - and expensive to leave it as a non-migrating package in -proposed because it consumes developer attention. I'll remove from both yakkety and yakkety-proposed and it can come back in via Debian.
