Do I have to rename the package from eg : gettext to gettext-mingw32? Or use some dpkg-divert mechanism? Currently I am attempting a rename.in case nobody answered: the naming should follow thr rules for deb-packages, where the architecture is shown on the end, e.g. gettext_0.10.40-5_win32.deb
just a thought, but should we be qualifying an architecture in addition to the win32? ex. gettext_0.10.40-5_win32-i386.deb. I say this because you can installed NT 4.0 on mips, alpha, and powerpc in addition to i386. So wouldn't that mean that debs would need to be compiled on these other architectures for win32? I doubt that anyone would ever do this, but shouldn't we account for the possibility?
