I'm just getting back from vacation, so I'm playing catch-up right now. Thanks for sending this email. On Aug 07, 2011, at 10:29 PM, Jakub Wilk wrote: >1) Test your packages.

One thing I've found very helpful is to build the package both before and after your conversion, then diff the package contents using debdiff. Once you get the hang of the expected differences, such as symlinks that will appear in only the post-conversion package, you can pretty quickly identify major problems in your conversion. Once this looks pretty good, installing the package and doing other tests as Jakub suggests will find any additional problem. >2) Do not skip the "Before you begin"[0] step.

I've added a note about Breaks/Depends to the wiki page. -Barry
