Hi folks, What's the current best-practice for merging two source packages?
Technically making the merged source package is quite simple. However, I'm not sure what needs to happen in what order so that the transition can be made without breaking the existing packages in the archive. I'm interested in how to do this correctly in the general case, but here are the details of my specific case: Current situation (source package => binary packages): gringotts => gringotts libgringotts => libgringotts2, libgringotts-dev Desired situation: gringotts => gringotts, libgringotts2, libgringotts-dev Specifically, there will still be the same number and names of binary packages, but now they will be generated from a single source package. The tricky here seems to be that gringotts depends on libgringotts2.
