Yes, I think you're right, and I've been confused today. I thought that we had kept/added Provides and Replaces for deprecated modules, but git history differs. Of course in this case, libmodule-pluggable-perl was already Provided. However, I'm now confused because debian/t/control.t complains about Breaks without corresponding Replaces/Provides. I looked back in the git history and in (for example) 5.12.1-1 we didn't Break the modules being deprecated, but wouldn't we prefer the versions with warnings than older versions of the same modules without? -- Dominic Hargreaves | http://www.larted.org.uk/~dom/ PGP key 5178E2A5 from the.earth.li (keyserver,web,email) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
