Thanks, after re-reading this paragraph like 3 times I get it now :D """ If the name of the original package still exists after the split, that package needs to obsolete itself. Even if an optional split-out package requires the original package, the original package still must obsolete itself. Otherwise the split-out package won’t be pulled in. """ I think it is clear, if quite dense.
