New emusic packages - broken upgrade path



I just uploaded emusic_0.8-5 to incoming.

emusic (0.8-5) unstable; urgency=low

  * Recompiled against GTK+ 1.2
  * Consolidated into one package
       * This WILL not install cleanly through dselect.  Remove all your
         emusic packages first (this is because dpkg cannot do versioned
         Provides:) But this is unstable, so thems the breaks.
  * EsounD now a Recommends instead of a Depends
  * Changed debian/rules to use DESTDIR
  * Updated download location in copyright file

Just --remove libemusic0 emusic-data emusic-docs emusic, then apt-get install
emusic.

I asked on -mentors about this, there was no opposition to it and only one
reply.  I know this is messy, but so is dpkg not allowing versioned Provides:.
This is only an issue from potato->potato.  People going from the slink emusic
to potato emusic will not have any problems, becasue the slink packages did not
have versioned Depends:.
