one binary package created by different source packages, will the old source package disappear?



Hi,

assume the following scenario:

- Source package foo creates binary packages libfoo1 and libfoo-dev
- source package foo2 creates binary packages libfoo2 and libfoo2-dev

Since both versions are API-compatible, libfoo2-dev is renamed to
foo-dev, replacing the old binary package from source package foo.  Will
the complete source package foo have to disappear, or will foo and the
binary package libfoo1 continue to be available?

TIA, Frank
