Speaking of which, would it make sense somehow to track these successors? One might think of an additional source field for the control file. I know it's quite easy to remember firefox -> iceweasel, but that might help tracking successors over years, even if they aren't as famous as that one. Cheers, -- Cyril Brulebois
