Sorry. It looks to me like it's the files themselves which are doing the switching... applying s/switching/switched/ gives "switched to". Would I be right in saying that only the filenames will be changed? ;-) I'd happily settle for "deprecated in favour of" (and dropped after sarge is released [1]) since this should allow those of us who are running stable [2] to grab the occasional binary package from testing or, possibly, unstable. [1] As opposed to "after sarge releases". [2] On humanbrain-linux, if you're wondering. ;-) -- | Darren Salt | nr.
