Package: piuparts
Version: 0.42
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

we need some solution to do distupgrade tests on "disappering" packages.
These can't currently be tested because they are no longer in the
package list of the target distribution.

One possibility could be 
  --extra-old-packages=the-disappearing-one -a some-dummy-package

Possible outcomes:
* the old package is left on the system after the distupgrade, this is
  fine
* the old package is removed during the distupgrade (because something
  properly Conflicts/Breaks/Replaces the package)
* something bad happens (unsatisfied deps, file overwrites, ...)


Andreas
