Re: Status for RT on `Rules-Requires-Root: no` transition

Hi,

Here is one final update as the freeze is about to start.

  * First and foremost, I consider the transition as over, since there
    are no more packages left that are actionable by me nor is there
    any pending reason to revert the change.


  * Only three known issues remain as affecting testing. These
    are d-i, shim, and the shim arm64 helper. As stated before,
    in all three cases, the maintainer and agreed they would fix
    on their own, since these packages have non-trivial circumstances
    where a "careless" NMU would harm more than help.


  * Since last time, I NMU'ed both bash and lintian. These NMUs have
    been processed and the fix reached testing, marking the end of key
    packages that I can fix.

    I also NMUed ifeffit (non-key package pending auto-removal). That
    NMU as made its way to testing as well keeping ifeffit from being
    auto-removed.

  * On the non-key package side, there are only 5 non-key packages that
    still have a transition both open. All 5 have multiple RC bugs, so
    they are kept out of testing due to an unrelated issue in addition
    to the transition bug.

    Note 2 of them are older versions of gcc cross that we probably do
    not want in this stable release anyhow. I suspect they should be
    removed from unstable down the line.


Thanks for your time and for helping us to make Trixie be rootless by 
default! :)

Best regards,
Niels
