[xml/sgml-pkgs] Bug#676686: Bug#676686: libxslt1.1: libxslt1.1 binNMU broke multi-arch installability

[Aron Xu]

Hi list,

It seems M-A:same packages are not binNMU safe, even when requested on
all archs because every arch uses its own copy of debian/changelog
item.

Does this mean M-A:same packages should be prevented from being
binNMUed, but only source upload can be accepted?
