Hi Adam (et al.), Sorry for not responding earlier but I've been travelling and quite busy and completely forgot about this issue. As I said, I don't know what the ideal situation is. The nice thing about the transition package is that it provides some kind of upgrade path: it depends on the package you need and has a NEWS entry telling you what to do. It will work for most (easy) configurations. It will not work for complex systems. I assumed the sys admins of such people would either read the docs or could deal with breakage. But who knows. Maybe a debconf message should be added; maybe the package should be removed altogether.
If you think you have a good solution, please talk to the stable release manager and NMU this package at will. -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
