Description

Look for Explanation: removed from testing (<del><a class='issue tracker-1 status-3 priority-4 priority-default closed child' href='/code/issues/15694' title='Check what to do with packages removed from testing'>Bug #15694</a></del>) in config/chroot_apt/preferences on the feature/buster branch. For each of the packages listed there:

  1. if it’s back into testing, drop it from the list
  2. if it’s not back into testing, think/discuss about what to do (fix it in Debian? drop it from Tails? keep the pinning to the sid version?)

Maybe something wider would be welcome? Packages like systemd that we pick from stretch-backports (to get a specific version for a specific feature) could likely disappear from our list of special packages?

Sure, if needed. FWIW, when I used to work on feature/buster, I did update the APT pinning as part of resolving merge conflicts, whenever I merged devel into it. So for example, systemd is not listed in there on that branch.
