Package: wnpp
Version: N/A; reported 2002-01-27
Severity: wishlist
I had the idea someone could perhaps provide a package that consists
of nothing else than a "Conflicts:" line and that conflicts with every
package that was in potato but is not in woody. This would be an easy
way for a system administrator to get rid of obsolete packages like e.g.
gzilla and emacs19 by doing a simple "apt-get install cleanup-woody".
Notes:
- there might be better names for the package than "cleanup-woody"
- the creation of this package only makes sense at some time near the
end of a freeze and it might need a special exception to enter the
frozen distribution (in practice this shouldn't be a big problem because
this package can't cause non-obvious breakages)

"Only a promise," Lao Er said.
