Hello Baptiste,
[...]
D'autres questions techniques :
- est ce que le nouveau paquet sera identifié « replace:
manpages-fr{,-extra} » ?
- il faudra penser à faire supprimer les paquets manpages-fr{,-extra},
ou les remplacer par des factices qui dépendent du nouveau paquet ?
Indeed, the upcoming v4.0 of manpages-l10n will replace manpages-fr, manpages-fr-dev and manpages-fr-extra (and moreover: manpages-de, manpages-de-dev, manpages-pl and manpages-pl-dev).
I don't know how this will be handled regarding Debian's packaging and upgrading policies - I'm using Archlinux. But I'm quite sure the new manpages-fr will provide manpages-fr-extra virtually, because we don't distinguish anymore between "normal" and somewhat "extra" man pages. CC'ing Tobias Quathamer, he is the maintainer of the current manpages-de package; maybe he can better explain the upgrade process.
Best Regards,
Mario
