Hello everybody,
we have packages lcms (which provides lcms 1.x) and lcms2. The former
is
flagged out-of-date every now and then for version 2.x... I would like
to
rename the package to lcms1 with replace and provide for lcms. Any
concerns?
I don't think we should rename. Kill the package instead. The software
is unmaintained upstream and probably several security issues exist.
Most packages that still depend on lcms1 can be changed to lcms2 without
patches. For packages that need patches, Debian has those and otherwise
we should just remove the software together with lcms1.
