The Replaces has to be unversioned if dpkg continue to ship a no-op /usr/sbin/install-info (which is the plan seen on the wiki AFAIK). (BTW 1.15.0 exists in experimental) However I don't find this very nice. I would rather have the new install-info in /usr/bin/, and dpkg ships an /usr/sbin/install-info that does nothing but calls /usr/bin/install-info if it exists and warn otherwise. (And also warn if it's called with the full path). And in lenny+1 we can remove /usr/sbin/install-info. We avoid the need for the replace and we have a nice transition. dpkg should maybe add a versioned Breaks: on the most popular info browsers to force their upgrade to a version that Depends on install-info. How does that sound ?
