Package: debian-policy Version: 3.6.1.0 Severity: wishlist Hi, we had some discussion the last days about whether a package must depend on a split-off package. I herby propose to add a section 7.5.3 to the policy with the words: 7.5.3 Moving files or functionality to another package If some functionality is moved from one package to another (also at splitting off a package), the first one must depend on the second for the time of at least one stable release. By this, no functionality is removed on dist-upgrade. Cheers, Andi -- http://home.arcor.de/andreas-barth/ PGP 1024/89FB5CE5 DC F1 85 6D A6 45 9C 0F 3B BE F1 D0 C5 D1 D9 0C
