- Subject: debian-policy: Request for the 'stardict' and 'stardict-dictdata' virtual packages.

Package: debian-policy
Version: 3.7.2.1
Severity: wishlist
I would like to propose stardict and stardict-data as names of
virtual packages:
stardict: application capable of reading stardict-dictdata
stardict-dictdata: dictionary data can be able to read from stardict
The advantages of these virtual packages are:
- Make our users easier to find the right reader for reading stardict
format dictionaries.
- Make our users easier to find dictionary data packages for stardict
reader.
Currently we have these source packages related to stardict:
- stardict: It is just a reader, it doesn't provide any dictionary
data, we current have version 2.4.7 in sid and it builds three binary
packages: stardict, stardict-common, stardict-tools
- stardic: It is an older version(1.3.x) of stardict and almost
obsolete, but it contains a useful English to Chinese dictionary.
- sdcv: The full name of sdcv is 'stardict console version'
What I have done:
The upstream of stardict made a split on version 2.4.8, so the
stardict-tools become an independent package. And bug#328649 request
for providing a binary package without gnome library dependence. So I
have made these NMU changes for stardict and stardict-tools(they have
been sponsored, will be in NEW soon):
- Upgrade to stardict 2.4.8(Closes:#361667, #379697)
- Split stardict package, and make it builds: stardict, stardict-common
and stardict-gtk(Closes:#328649)
- Create stardict-tools source package
What I wish to do:
- Rename stardict to 'stardict-gnome'.
- Create a virtual package called 'stardict'.
- Make stardict-gnome, stardict-gtk Provides 'stardict'.
- Rename sdcv(currently still in 2.4.2) to stardict-console, make it
Provides 'stardict' until the upsteam release the same version
of stardict(new version supports more dictdata formats).
- Dump stardic's free dictionary data and package it for stardict, and
might call it 'stardict-xdict-eng-chi' and make it Provides
'stardict-dictdata'(Closes:#280286, #292908), and make
'stardict-dictdata' Recommends 'stardict' each other.
- I'd remove stardic from archive. And possibly create more
stardict-dictdata packages.
