Package: debian-policy Version: 3.8.4.0 Severity: normal Hi,
in May there was a discussion about the right use of Breaks or Conflicts as part of Bug#582423, e.g. http://lists.debian.org/debian-ctte/2010/05/msg00012.html Since then I've noticed at least 3 people on #debian-devel asking questions about wether to use Breaks or Conflicts now. Imho the description of Breaks and Conflicts is unclear and contradictory in parts and the use of Replaces+Breaks in 7.6.1 is wrong (breaks when an upgrade is aborted). I think all the needed info is in policy and the above mentioned discussion and now a good word smith is needed to write it up all nice and understandable. Saddly that is not me so consider this a request for help from those of you good with words.
