Hi,

I submitted one, so I can close #481022 in the changelog.

I do not understand Replaces/Conflicts very well. I believe that all ipe
packages before 6.0pre30-1 came with figtoipe (I do not know where to
find all old versions, so I didi not actually verify this). Of course,
figtoipe is rather useless without ipe, so it should recommend it.
Should the control file then look like this:

=============================================
...
Standards-Version: 3.7.3
Homepage: http://tclab.kaist.ac.kr/ipe

Replaces: ipe (<< 6.0pre30-1)
Conflicts: ipe (<< 6.0pre30-1)
Recommends: netpbm, ipe
...
=============================================

I did not find an explanation of the format of debian/install. I put

figtoipe usr/bin

and it works (i.e. the executable is in the package).

Well, it had been on May 5, before the last upload of figtoipe. What has
changed is the number after the download.php. I added a .*
