Package: x11-common
Version: 1:7.0.16
Severity: important

The latest version of x11-common now pre-depends on xfree86-common,
nominally in order to fix bug #354146.  The rationale given for the
pre-depends in that bug is incorrect:

  Hmm, then x11-common Pre-Depends: xfree86-common to make sure that
  xfree86-common.postinst is run before x11-common is configured,
  shouldn't it?  Or maybe remove the conffile in xfree86-common.preinst?

<http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=354146;msg=34>

Please review the definitions of Depends and Pre-Depends in Policy.  "A
configured before B configured" is satisfied by a simple Depends, a
Pre-Depends is only required if A must be configured before B is *unpacked*.
Constraining the unpack order of packages in this fashion, when it isn't
actually required, makes for brittle upgrades.

Pre-Depends are also not supposed to be added to packages without first
discussing them on -devel...

BTW, some other conffile that was moved from one package to another as part
of the modular switch apparently moved just fine (i.e., without conffile
prompts, whether or not it was modified) just by setting Conflicts/Replaces
against the old package.  Does anyone understand why this worked in the
other case, but not in this one?

Actually, can anyone even confirm that this bug was reproducible with
x11-common 1:7.0.14/15?  The bug was *filed* against version 1:7.0.0, but
the bug log only shows the output of upgrading to x11-common 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4.
Does that version predate the addition of the xfree86-common conflicts?

 .
   [ Steve Langasek ]
   * High-urgency upload for RC bugfix.
   * Drop the xfree86-common transitional package again, because the
     solution implemented for 354146 was broken and redundant -- bug
     #354146 hasn't been a real issue since x11-common started
     conflicting with xfree86-common, and people tend to miss their
     /etc/X11/Xsession when it's moved out from under them.
     Closes: #365948, reopens: #318294.
 .
   [ David Martínez Moreno ]
   * debian/control: Fixed several short descriptions.
   * debian/scripts/vars*: Updated xserver-xorg-input-all dependencies to
     include xserver-xorg-input-synaptics on m68k and the newly released
     xserver-xorg-input-wacom driver.
 .
   [ David Nusinow ]
   * Have x11-common move Xsession.xfree86 back to Xsession if Xsession doesn't
     exist. This is to clean up the mess made on last upload
   * Tell the configuration scripts that we're upgrading properly. The variable
     that was being used to test this was never set for some reason.
   * Fix test bug during upgrade when we made sure to only do certain
     operations when we're upgrading from before a fixed package number. This
     bug was uncovered by the fix above about the upgrade.
