Let me see if I understand what you are saying.
trixie:
remove old src: signify
single source upload:
src: signify -> signify-mail
binary: signify -> signify-mail
new signify as transitional
unversioned Depends: signify-mail
trixie+1:
remove transitional binary signify
trixie+2:
rename binary signify-openbsd -> signify
Is the following necessary?
versioned Conflicts: signify <= version of transitional signify in trixie
version of this signify must be > version of old transitional pkg
I believe that renaming the source from signify-openbsd to signify has
very little benefit. What most users are going to see is the binary
package. Anyone searching for the source package generally has enough
knowledge of Debian to find the correct source. Leaving the source name
clearly distinguishes it from the old source.
