This proposal supersedes a proposal from 2021-02-08.
Commit message
suiteloader: add configuration option whether to load udebs.
udebs do not have symbol versioned shlibdeps, thus it means that when
there is glibc in proposed, any packages built in proposed get a udeb
depends on the strictly higher version of glibc in proposed. This
leads to entaglement of the $world with glibc transition. Similar
story with glib, openssl, etc.
By setting the new configuration option to HAS_UDEBS = no, one can
make suiteloader not look at udebs, and thus use britney even when
installability of udebs is not required.
Description of the change
Redone as a new config option.

In terms of being able to merge this back to Debian, it would be preferable to make this a configurable option rather than deleting the code.
