Re: Declarative Diversions - GSoC Project Update 1

Everyone can ignore "--divert will not be specifiable and will take the default format "file.divert-$package"."
Got my notes messed up and this is covered in "destination"

That's why we have "Conflicts" to ensure a package is removed before the

it's not a new problem.
