That is, indeed, a problem. The other extreme, as I discovered, is packages that are rebuilt so frequently that they don't migrate into testing....

Either way, having the r-api-3.0 etc. Provides/Depends system seems like a good thing to do for the future ;-) Julian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
