Package: grub2
Version: 2.06-13+deb12u1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

your package currently (Build-)Depends on fuse - that is fuse 2.x, it
being obsolete. A newer version of fuse, fuse3, is available since at
least buster. 

Please migrate your package to the fuse3 library, which is actively
maintained. It would be great if we could remove fuse 2.x in the
forky development cycle.

If you cannot migrate yet, please at least update your Depends: line.
If you currently have:

> Depends: fuse

please update that to:

> Depends: fuse3 (>= 3.10.1-3) | fuse (<< 3)

This allows mount.fuse and fusermount to be provided by fuse3, which
is what the majority of new installs already have [1]. You should
still migrate from libfuse 2.x to libfuse 3.x later.

fuse upstream noted important differences in [2].

[1] compare https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=fuse and
https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=fuse3
