severity 701224 serious
thanks
recently, im-switch 1.23 has migrated to testing while fixing serious
bug "Disable hook script if package is removed. Closes: #701181"
(I was going to ask release exception later but somehow unblocked.)
This bug is essentially the same bug as #701181 thus I move this to
serious. These are both maintained by the same maintainer and this is
done as a coordinated migration.

We can consider im-switch and im-config almost a different version of
one package but they are not really the same package. Then we are
hitting policy violation issue. Unless this is the only solution, I
will consider this option. I mean why take chances.

I think 80im-switch get installed but ... let's not argue this point
now.

This is what I was thinking ...

No I have seen people has added disabling thing as gray area. (Old
network-manager,...) Besides, these are two cooperating package by the
same maintainer and these are one of the cooperation script. Perfectly
policy compliant!!! Also whatever happens, if im-switch is installed and
even if installation did not replace this script, it works :-)

Since if the md5sum are the same as installed, it is better to remove it
completely as they used to be.
So I modified a bit but in the same spirit :-)
I echo to STDERR.
