No, it would not be enough. Some people can try to install the new -da-dk package with your old -da package already present. Even if people upgrade your package at the same time, there is no evidence that dpkg will upgrade the -da package before installing the -da-dk package.On Wed, 12 Jan 2005, Frank Küster wrote:
Then this is a release critical bug in the newer package, ..da-dk. You

new revision of the ..da-dk package must be uploaded that has proper
Conflicts.
Instead of that, I would upload a new version of mozilla-firefox-locale-da which is empty and has a Depends: mozilla-firefox-locale-da-dk, i.e. a dummy package. Put in section oldlibs and then deborphan will tell you that you can remove it safely.
Then no conflict would be needed (well, a versioned one perhaps),
and there would not be so much hurry in removing the package, as you
will be helping users of the old package to install the new one.
A conflict/replace on -da in the new -da-dk package is the (only ?) good thing to do
Your dummy package is only useful to force users to switch to the new -da-dk package on upgrade. In this case, the conflict/replace in -da-dk should be versionned.
