Package: libavutil51
Version: 5:0.8.1-3
Severity: important

Judging by its description, libavutil-extra-51 is meant to be a transitional
package.

However, transitional packages should be installable simultaneously
with the package to which you're transitioning, otherwise there's no point:
if the transitional package isn't co-installable with the new package that
it depends on, then it's not installable.

The two ways I can see to do this transition are:

* remove libavutil-extra-51 entirely, have libavutil51 conflict/replace it

* keep libavutil-extra-51 as a transitional package, have
  libavutil51 conflict/replace versions less than the one in which the
  transition was made

I'm sure the release team would also have something to say about this.

Regards,
    S
