Proper way to remove a package from both sarge and sid
Hi,
how should I properly approach the removal of a package which I
maintain?
Package in question is mozilla-firefox-locale-da which is to be replaced
by mozilla-firefox-locale-da-dk (not maintained by me) from source
package mozilla-firefox-locale-all.
Unfortunetaly, mozilla-firefox-locale-da and
mozilla-firefox-locale-da-dk don't conflict, so users trying to install
both will face trouble.
mozilla-firefox-locale-da-dk just entered sid today and will most likely
enter sarge within the normal 10 days.
I was thinking this:
1) mail to submit@bugs.debian.org today:
Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: important
Tags: sid
< explain reason for removal... >
2) 1 day before mozilla-firefox-locale-da-dk goes in sarge:
Ask on debian-release: hint/tag my package for removal
BTW, what does RoM and RoQA mean?
Thanks in advance,
