As said before, I agree with bill that the diversion stuff has to stay out of the base LJT package. However, I would like to give people in wheezy the chance to drop in replace LJ by LJT with installation of an extra package that handles the versions. This package I would not even mention in Suggests:... The drop-in replacement has to be reversible with uninstallation for the diversion package. People have to remove the diversions without removing LJT. Our (and LJT upstream's) gain then is that we have a package/forum in BTS where all the incompatibility reports can be assigned to. This is usefull for further discussions. If people urge on replacing LJ by LJT somepost-wheezy-time later, then we can say: hey, take a look at all those bugs filed against the LJT diversion package... Or maybe there won't be many bugs being reported.

Only the file/link names in the LJT diversion package will raise the naming interference (which is wanted with that package) Greets Mike -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
