I don't know about that git precedent. Anyway my opinion is simple, and all the confussion comes by the changes made in epiphany-browser package to hijack the epiphany name, despite being already used by an existing package. > This attitude is causing all sorts of bugs in epiphany since we have to > rename it to “epiphany-browser” in many places. Since I've done several of those reassignations I don't think that's causing much trouble to you. How much are "all sort of bugs"? Because you make it look like you were all day long renaming bugs from epiphany... :-P > Unfortunately, you need to keep your forces for large fights, and I > don’t think this one is worth it.

Sure, then maybe you have a reason to revert epiphany-bin to epiphany rename [0] which later caused http://bugs.debian.org/216489, and basically where all the confussion comes from. If you had choose renaming to epiphany-browser, all of this would be fine: epiphany package would be providing epiphany binary and epiphany-browser would be providing epiphany-browser. But I guess it's more simple to say I'm the stubborn guy, thanks Josselin by your great explanation of the situation. regards, [0] http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/e/epiphany-browser/current/changelog#version1.4.0-1 -- Ricardo Mones ~ Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
