Re: vienna-rna is almost ready



Let's assume a conflict on the name popt from packages A and B.

Here is what I would do:

	/usr/bin/popt.A
	/usr/bin/popt.B

	/usr/bin/popt -> /etc/alternatives/popt

	/etc/alternatives/popt -> /usr/bin/popt.A or /usr/bin/popt.B

	/usr/share/doc/A/README.Debian
	/usr/share/doc/B/README.Debian

There would then need to be a way for "essential" packages
to "lock" /etc/alternatives/popt.
