That hack would actually open the door to a 3rd transition scheme: - keeping only the gcompris-qt source package (src:gcompris can be immediately removed) - keeping gcompris-qt as the main binary package - having gcompris as a transitional package, generated by src:gcompris-qt, and would be the only binary package with an epoch number That scheme looks like a good compromise to me. -- ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ Sébastien Villemot ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ Debian Developer ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ http://sebastien.villemot.name ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀ http://www.debian.org
