Package: libneon26
Version: 0.26.2-1
Severity: important

subversion and bazaar cannot be installed at the same time, because
libneon26 and libneon26-gnutls conflict.  As all these packages are
"Priority: optional", this is a policy violation, but I'll refrain from
giving it an RC severity as this may not be warranted.

According to 'objdump' and 'diff', libneon26 and libneon26-gnutls
export _exactly_ the same ABI.  Please change the shlibs file in each
package to indicate this:

  libneon 26 libneon26 | libneon26-gnutls

This is because most packages should not care which one they use at
runtime (or indeed at build time).  I just tested subversion and it
doesn't seem to notice the difference.  If a package does care - like
bazaar, whose license does not allow use of OpenSSL - it can specify
what it really wants.

(Note: it also reflects the fact that I also see no ABI difference
between neon 0.26.1 and 0.26.2, so I omitted the versioned dependency.)

Thanks,
Peter
