Dear maintainer, I see that the package devscripts (version 2.25.21) suggests bls-standalone which is not in unstable. This can be seen in https://packages.debian.org/unstable/devscripts . Search for "Package not available". The missing package used to be in Debian but they were removed some time ago: - https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/bls-standalone Should it be dropped or changed? Thank you,
hi Carles, thanks for your bug report. [...] sadly there seems to be no information whatsoever why the package was removed?

I found out that it actually (still?) exists in debports (which I guess is a corner case that a package is dropped from main and exist in debports?): https://packages.debian.org/sid/bls-standalone (for ia64 and riscv64) I'll try to find out more and report in the bug.

ah & seems so. thank you!
removal ticket earlier? Well...) In short: totally stale and our of date; no longer needed at local test for bls; and for local tests has no advantages over blhc (It's architecture is optimizes towards being able to scan the whole build log archive cheaply). Bernhard R. Link
