Why do we need a lynx transition package which depends on a lynx-cur package instead of just having a single lynx package? Clearly we're not going to have another lynx package, and having lynx-cur when we've never made a release of it seems silly. Furthermore, the debconf prompt about the /etc/lynx configuration file is just useless. Don Armstrong -- We cast this message into the cosmos.
