In debian/control, in the binary section. Please read: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-binary.html#s-virtual_pkg http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-virtual This is because wicd-daemon is Recommending: Recommends: wicd-gtk (= 1.7.0+ds1-5) | wicd-curses (= 1.7.0+ds1-5) | wicd-cli (= 1.7.0+ds1-5) | wicd-client This way, one could use your client without having one of those above installed. > > Also, if it only depends on Qt libs, it would be better IMVHO if you (or > > upstream) named it "wicd-qt", to stay consistent with other clients > > (wicd-gtk > > and wicd-curses).

I was talking about both, the binary package and the binary in /usr/bin/. :-) It's better if you talk to upstream about this. But then again, it's really just a matter of consistency. > I'll send an email to him just to be sure, maybe he also wants to change it > in upstream if i finally find a sponsor. I'de be happy to sponsor it. And maybe it's better if we continue this on debian-mentors@ :-) -- . ''`.
