Hello guys,

Thanks for the feedback!

Next version of the patch will be in the proper mailing list, this was on
Scarthgap.

Quentin, I've had an issue when trying to install empty packages in my
image, essentially doing so would fail the build. But that could be thanks
to local distro settings, idk and I'm happy with this.

From my point of view, we shouldn't be shipping and maintaining
empty packages as they will inevitably accumulate over time.

Now do you rather have only the fix for 12xx and 1251 or also the package
removal? I can do 2 commits as well so that you can cherry pick the one
you're interested in.

Bests regards,

Yann
