Author Dropping an architecture from a package
Ian Wienand

Hi,

One of my packages (numactl) has dropped support for two
architectures. I would very much like the new package to make it into
testing, but it of course fails the up-to-date on previous
architectures rule. I thought if I had removed the architectures the
scripts would notice, but they don't seem to have [1].

http://www.debian.org/devel/testing says what I should do if I have
FTBFS, but not so much what to do if I deliberately dropped it. Do
you bug release managers directly, or file a bug somewhere, or send
something to a mailing list?

Thanks,

-i

File a removal request against package ftp.debian.org.
