Removing the package from Debian will not affect current users that

While I perfectly agree that there are replacements for xmms that at
first view look like a new version (for instnce audacious) many user
might have links form their desktops or other hooks that just call
/usr/bin/xmms. So this might affect a lot of users and especially
those users that have no idea how to cope with a missing xmms in their
PATH. IMHO the only way to fix this is to provide a transitional
package that for instance depends from audacious (or other clones),
provides xmms and conflict with older xmms versions and install a
symlink to the replacement.
I think xmms is to wide spread as that we just could wild guess how
many users are affected and how they could cope with this.
Kind regards
Andreas.
