Severity: serious
Tags: patch
Justification: in the maintainer's opinion, makes the package unsuitable

Hi,

a user reported to me in private that the AqBanking plugins to Gwenhywfar get
lost on upgrade from squeezy to wheezy. The reason is that the package
libaqbanking-plugins-libgwenhywfar47 got renamed to
libaqbanking-plugins-libgwenhywfar60, but (intentionally) no other package
depends or recommends the package libaqbanking-plugins-libgwenhywfar60.  The
impact is, that for all users that want to use it, AqBanking doesn't work
anymore.

I would like to add a transitional dummy package
libaqbanking-plugins-libgwenhywfar47 that depends on
libaqbanking-plugins-libgwenhywfar60, so that AqBanking continues to work on
upgrades from squeeze to wheezy.

Regards,
Micha
