Package: swig2.0
Version: 2.0.12-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Packages swig2.0 and swig3.0 provide alternative versions of swig.

Installing any of these should provide an alternative in /etc/alternatives.

For details see
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch02.en.html#_the_update_alternatives_command

Currently package swig creates a link from /usr/bin/swig to
/usr/bin/swig2.0.

Both swig2.0 and swig3.0 should be marked as "provides swig", and
package swig should be marked as virtual package.

See
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/dreq.en.html#control
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-virtual

Best regards

Heinrich Schuchardt
