transition plan from libcap to libcap2

[Torsten Werner <twerner@debian.org>]

Hi,

libcap is no longer maintained upstream and has been replaced by
libcap2 which is supposed to be API compatible. There are some
packages left that Build-Depend on libcap:
<http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?tag=libcap2;users=twerner@debian.org>.
My plan is to add a transitional binary package libcap-dev to the
source package libcap2 until squeeze will be released and remove the
source package libcap from unstable. After some binNMUs everything
will be okay. The maintainer of libcap (Michael Vogt) agrees to the
plan.

Are there any problems with the proposed transition plan from the
release managers point of view?

Cheers,
Torsten
