        <br>
        Dear Debian Rust Maintainers,<br>
        <br>
        I would like to propose removing rust-netlink-packet-route-0.19
        from<br>
        unstable, subject to confirmation that no reverse dependencies
        remain.<br>
        <br>
        This versioned source package was introduced in February 2025 to
        support<br>
        rtnetlink 0.14.1 while the unversioned rust-netlink-packet-route
        package<br>
        moved to newer releases. Its debian/README.source explicitly
        states that<br>
        it was retained for dependencies that had not yet been ported,
        referencing:<br>
        <br>
        <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/rust-netlink/rtnetlink/issues/76">https://github.com/rust-netlink/rtnetlink/issues/76</a><br>
        <br>
        The relevant packaging history is:<br>
        <br>
        * 1c88c177f9: introduced netlink-packet-route-0.19 as a separate
        package.<br>
        * 5a119c05d3: switched rtnetlink to route 0.19 and disabled the
        patches<br>
          intended to support route 0.20/0.21.<br>
        * 88f5d38f56: upgraded rtnetlink to 0.20 in June 2026. That
        package<br>
          depends on netlink-packet-route 0.28 rather than 0.19.<br>
        <br>
        The original compatibility requirement therefore appears to have
        gone<br>
        away. </font></p>
