Package replacement



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Hi,

I am rather new to Debian and am wondering if someone here would be able
to point me in the right direction.  So far, when I install a source
package, I Debianize it first.  This way I can pull it out again and
install it on other systems.  I've come across a package however that has
stumped me.  I am trying to install a new and more user friendly version
of the write(1) utility.  The trick is that it replaces /usr/bin/write and
/usr/bin/mesg.  Also it adds some other programs but those are easy.  Now,
when I pull it out, I'd like for the old /usr/bin/write and /usr/bin/mesg
to come back.  Does Debian have anything in place to facilitate this and
if so, is there a document which explains how to do it with debhelper?
