Bug#1069139: developers-reference: out-of-date section "Make transition packages deborphan compliant"
Package: developers-reference
Version: 13.5
Severity: normal
Now that the deborphan package has been removed from unstable,
the section "Make transition packages deborphan compliant" in
"Best Packaging Practices" is out of date and should be updated.
See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1065312
where "apt-mark auto ..." (for autoremove) is suggested as a
replacement. But with it, putting transition packages to oldlibs
is even more necessary.
