+ * ci-buildpackage: drop the use of wrap-and-sort.
+ This was a workaround for odd nodes packages that apt was not able
+ to parse. This is no longer required since it was fixed in apt 2.3.10.
+ Moreover, this workaround leads to other apt failures to resolve
+ dependencies (because of conflicts between rustc and rustc-web).

+ * apertis-pkg-merge-local: Add new tool.
+ Add a tool to help when a package update cannot be done by CI. This tool
+ should help developers to perform the merge in a similar way as the CI
+ and also help to run some basic checks.

+
+ * Drop unneeded dependencies.
+ After narrowing the functionality of ade tool to only manage sysroots the
+ dependencies were not re evaluated, causing several packages to be required
+ which are not really needed.
+ To avoid this problem, remove unneeded dependencies.
