Bug Description

Binary package hint: wireless-tools

Prior to rfkill being available in its own source package, it was added to wireless-tools. This both creates an unnecessary delta from Debian and complicates maintenance (because a separate piece of code needs to be tracked).

rfkill's development sure isn't all that complicated and active, but I think it would make sense at this point to remove rfkill from wireless-tools and just use the rfkill source package.

This bug is only for removing rfkill from wireless-tools. Other bugs will be filed for the required MIR and seed changes.

This bug was fixed in the package wireless-tools - 30~pre9-5ubuntu1

---------------
wireless-tools (30~pre9-5ubuntu1) oneiric; urgency=low

  * Merge with Debian; remaining changes (LP: #777358):
    - compiler-link-order.patch: libraries must be specified after the
      object/library that needs them otherwise nothing is used from them.
    - Remove the ifrename package; it conflicts with our own udev package
      which provides /etc/iftab support.
    - Add iwlist and iwevent to the wireless-tools udeb.
  * debian/patches/series: drop the debian-* patches introduced from various
    previous Ubuntu changes.
  * debian/rules,
    debian/wireless-tools.install:
    yank out rfkill, which is now shipped in its own package which we get from
    Debian. (LP: #711860)

wireless-tools (30~pre9-5) unstable; urgency=low

  * Apply patch from Steve Langesak clarifying the iftab manpage.
    Closes: #528324
  * Bump Standards-Version.
  * Only build wireless-tools on Linux.

wireless-tools (30~pre9-4) unstable; urgency=low

  * Let ifrename udev rules be priority 19 instead of 019. Closes: #560801
  * Use udev rules from upstream. Closes: #556441
  * Depend on ${misc:Depends}.
