Hi Sam, Thank you for the quick response.

In general I agree with offering the choice, but in that particular package's case I saw no prior indication of any user wanting to use libverto-libevent1 rather than libverto-libev1. I see that you maintain krb5, too. What advantage do you see in providing libverto-libevent1, too, that would make the extra complexity worth it? In fact maintaining the Ubuntu delta would become slightly more complicated.
