I understood your proposal, of course. Still, since there are no rdepends besides very few (1?) build-depends on these two packages, I consider it a a waste of resources. I repeat my point, these changes happen on major upgrades. If many packages are concerned, a mass bug filing is the way to go. Since we are talking about *one* package that in addition is extremly simple to fix, I don't consider it useful or necessary to provide transitional packages. dist-upgrade will remove these packages during upgrade from stable to next-stable, so nothing to worry. > I’ve witnessed many such transitions, they even usually are kept in the > following stable release (so stable-to-stable upgrades are not too > disruptive for those third parties, and our users). I failed to come up Nothing disruptive here, dist-upgrade removes conflicting packages that have no dependencies anymore.
