Bug#29874: Optional and conflicting packages.

[Santiago Vila <sanvila@unex.es>]

reassign 29874 ftp.debian.org
thanks

Since policy has now been clarified, I think it should be ok to do
this reassign.

[ If you still want to change the policy, you can of course present a
proposal here, but in such case please use another bug. IMHO, I don't
think it would be a good idea to change the definition of "optional" and
"extra" in the deep freeze ].

I understand that part of this bug (#29874) was not easy to solve (for
example, between xmpuzzles and xpuzzles), so I'm going to create a list of
conflicts as complete as I can and will post it to debian-devel so that
the maintainer themselves decide about the right priority of each one (in
many cases, conflicting optional packages are maintained by the same
person).

Thanks.
