@jonas.smedegaard I can not block binary packages, it's either all or nothing. You will need to edit the package in PureOS, removing the problematic pieces.
Only syncing a few binary packages leads to an inconsistent archive with big headaches for QA, and if we later rebuild all packages from scratch becomes completely impossible.
So, adding a PureOS delta is the way to go here.
