Sounds reasonable. Branden can decide if he'd prefer to leave the current xprt to contain the XFree86 binary, or transform it into the virtual package, and I'll fit in accordingly. Seems to me though that xprint would be the appropriate name for the virtual package, in which case xprt could stay as xprt, just changing the Provides: field etc. Drew -- PGP public key available at http://people.debian.org/~dparsons/drewskey.txt Fingerprint: A110 EAE1 D7D2 8076 5FE0 EC0A B6CE 7041 6412 4E4A
