Well, I don't want to be an inch pincher, but using Conflicts for this is forbidden by policy (second-last paragraph of §7.4 Conflicting binary packages) so technically an rc-bug, but if you really insist at least use Breaks as it is less demanding for the package manager. I don't see the problem this is trying to solve though. Sure, a user can install -nox and -x11 together and the -x11 binary can do the same as the -nox binary, so this will waste some diskspace if he does… so? Further more, I don't understand why -qt conflicts with -x11 as it is completely fine to have a multi-user system were some will like an -x11 frontend better than -qt or the other way around, but I know nothing about the packages in question, so I will shut up now and let people who know stuff do stuff. :) Best regards David Kalnischkies
