Package: geoclue
Version: 0.12.99-2ubuntu6
Severity: normal

Geoclue 2.0 is a complete rewrite that introduced an entirely new and 
simplified API. This new API is not compatible with the old API and further 
many features in geoclue 0.12 are not available in the new API. It really would 
be non-trivial to port all the rdepends to the new API, as there will some 
rdepends that use features not in the new API.

It would be good to package geoclue in a new source package 'geoclue-2.0' so it 
can exist in parallel, rather than just replacing the old version as was done 
in experimental packaging.
