Much appreciated!
I've begun testing this with starlette. I tried both "Build-Depends:
python3-multipart (<< 0.1) | python3-python-multipart" (Julian's
suggestion) and "Build-Depends: python3-python-multipart |
python3-multipart (<< 0.1)" (my adjustment). Unfortunately both of
those behave a bit awkwardly right now.
Builds for experimental consider all "|"-separated alternatives, but
builds for unstable only consider the first alternative. Right now,
while python3-multipart (<< 0.1) is in unstable and
python3-python-multipart is in experimental, "Build-Depends:
python3-multipart (<< 0.1) | python3-python-multipart" works fine; but
it will break once python3-multipart (<< 0.1) is no longer in unstable,
requiring another coordinated round of uploads of the seven
reverse-dependencies. That's not ideal. Similarly, flipping the order
means that those seven packages can only be updated once your new
package reaches unstable; python3-python-multipart would have to be
blocked from testing until all the reverse-dependencies have been
updated so that it can add Breaks, and then the whole lot would have to
move to testing at once. Also not really ideal.
How about this patch, still intended for experimental for now? I don't
think it should be annoying to maintain, and I believe it will allow a
smoother transition. It's hard to test this completely without
something quite involved preparing a modified mirror of unstable, but I
did the best I could:
* modified starlette to use "Build-Depends: python3-multipart (<< 0.1)
| python3-python-multipart"
* ran "sbuild -Ad unstable
--extra-package=python3-multipart_1.1.0-1_all.deb
--extra-package=python3-python-multipart_0.0.17-2.1_all.deb
starlette_0.41.3-2.dsc" (using my in-progress multipart packaging and
this patch against python-multipart), and confirmed that it installs
python3-python-multipart and not python3-multipart
