Some weeks before pkg freeze, my > plan was ask for the digikamplugin removal. Since there was no digikamplugins package in woody, I think a dummy package for this would be overkill. Transition packages are normally only used for stable->stable upgrade paths. I also think that there is no reason to keep the current digikamplugins packages in testing, since you say that they aren't useful with the current digikam package; so I have hinted digikamplugins for removal from testing in response to this bug. It seems to me that it also makes sense to request the removal of digikamplugins from unstable, but that's your decision to make. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
