No matter if also doing other things, we must request removal, for<br>
nodejs itself and also for all arch-any reverse dependencies of nodejs.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Agreed.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
Marking in source that the package is not targeted armel at all is a<br>
