Hi Willem,
Indeed, we shall add a transition package. However, I would prefer to
simply remove the python-pyldap source package, and have the python-ldap
source package to carry it. Once uploaded, we can open a bug against
ftp.debian.org for the removal of the python-pyldap package.
I have attached to this message a debdiff of the proposed changes
against python-ldap. Do you agree that I upload this?
Also, could we maintain python-ldap as a team, so I could upload it?
Cheers,
Thomas Goirand (zigo)
