It looks to me like it's the files themselves which are doing the
switching... applying s/switching/switched/ gives "switched to". Would I be
right in saying that only the filenames will be changed? ;-)
I'd happily settle for "deprecated in favour of" (and dropped after sarge is
released [1]) since this should allow those of us who are running stable [2]
to grab the occasional binary package from testing or, possibly, unstable.
[1] As opposed to "after sarge releases".
[2] On humanbrain-linux, if you're wondering. ;-)
