Hi,
I had been using sylpheed before & clawsmail
more recently. I do think it's time to drop the ball:
i.e:
1) RM src:sylpheed
2) let src:claws-mail provide a "sylpheed" transitional package,
3) maybe with a config migration script, but this step is not mandatory
to get 1 & 2 done.
Conveniently the version number of claws-mail is higher than sylpheed's one,
so no need for extra debhelper wizardy.
(I did somethink like "3" for residualvm -> scummvm but MR was rejected...
it's better to discuss first)
