Thanks but I read it as well as the manpage. My question wasn't clear
enough. What I want to know is about the way dpkg use the diversion list.
Example: I currently maintain auctex (soon replaces by auctex-emacs and
auctex-xemacs). The maintainer of latex-manuals need to divert one of my
file (ltx-help.el[c] if I remember well) and the best way to do it it's
with dpkg-divert (that's the purpose I think, replace the old file by a
more efficient one). But I don't want to override his file when I upgrade
the package. Did I have to do something about that or dpkg make care
about don't let diverted (and alternated by the same time) file be
override by new version of another package?

Did xemacs will follow the same way? And this isn't have its place in
chapter 3.11 of the policy? And what about source file (.el) of
Byte-compiled (.elc)? Did we put it with the binary package or not?
Thanks for your patience :-)
