Ok. I will merge the reports that I have need to be. Majordomo is not the
only one.

I thought about it. Since I will be closing all but one bug, I might as well.

But what if they currently have mdutils selected, and they don't notice that a
new package called raidtools is there? I want the package raidtools to be
automatically installed if mdutils is installed. How about this?
Package: mdutils
Pre-depends: raidtools
Package: raidtools
Conflicts: mdutils
Replaces: mdutils
Provides: mdutils
This way, as I see it, raidtools will have to be installed before mdutils, and
when raidtools is installed, it will deselect mdutils. Any problems with this?
