when to drop t64 postfix from lib packages?

[Jakub Ružička <jru@debian.org>]

Hello,

I wonder how to proceed with libraries affected by 64bit time_t
transition in Debian and upstream repos going forward.

In particular, libraries of src:knot gained t64 postfix:

    Package: libdnssec9t64
    Provides: ${t64:Provides}
    Replaces: libdnssec9
    Breaks: libdnssec9 (<< ${source:Version})

This lead to upgrade problems with upstream packages without the `t64`
postfix so in latest upstream packages (compiled after the transition),
I've added Conflits/Replaces to allow smooth upgrade from Debian to
upstream packages:

    Package: libdnssec9
    Conflicts: libdnssec9t64
    Replaces: libdnssec9t64


When should I drop t64 postfix from Debian lib packages?


Thanks for clarifying,
Jakub Ružička 🍥
