I agree: it seems like it makes sense to release a libnbio2-java package and then later remove the libnbio-java package. The upstream author wants to deprecate 1.x anyway, and besides, it doesn't look like there are currently any other Debian packages that depend on libnbio-java. I guess what bothers me about this is that it will kind of be a surprise for anyone that's using this libnbio-java package when it disappears. Anyone who's using it will have to change all of their code before going on, and that might be find of frustrating, especially if it was an upgrade from woody-stable to sarge-stable that broke their code. Admittedly, the change isn't a big deal in this case, but still... How do I handle this? Or do I even need to? What's "the Debian way" when it comes to this sort of thing... or is that a question to ask on -devel? Thanks for the help. (Again, please CC me on responses.) KEN -- Kenneth J.
