Re: Correct way to rename a binary package

I'll proceed in the following way for debian/control: rename

Is this OK?  Do I need something else?

in the binary section of hunchentoot, I think you have to add

Replaces: cl-hunchentoot
Conflicts: cl-hunchentoot

If you want to provide a transitional binary package cl-hunchentoot
which depends on hunchentoot you can't use this conflicts.  If you
would go *without* such a transitional package (and I think this
is an alternative solution if there was no such package in any stable
release) you should use this conflicts.  In addition you should think
about

  Provides: cl-hunchentoot

if there are other packages that depend from the former package.

Kind regards
