Err no, please don't. First I'd like to see packages already build-depending on libjpeg-dev to be rebuilt against a libjpeg7 that provides libjpeg-dev. In order to do that please provide a libjpeg6 not providing libjpeg-dev and a libjpeg7-dev which does provides it. I'll put blocks in my hint file to be sure that both those packages will migrate in testing together (I'm unsure if britney is clever enough to block them until all the binNMUs are done, I don't think it is). Then please ask for binNMUs of all the package that B-D on libjpeg-dev. Then we will let that migrate. _Only then_ you will open a mass bug on all packages that b-d on libjpeg62-dev to ask them to move to libjpeg-dev instead, so that the transition remains manageable. Doing it the other way ensures loads of pain to come. I'm not sure if we're ready for this transition yet though, I'll let luk or other RA/RM check if now is the best moment to do so. -- ·O· Pierre Habouzit ··O madcoder@debian.org OOO http://www.madism.org
