I think you should reupload a fixed package exactly at the same time you do the transition, to permit applications linked against the previous package to continue working. Something like the libssl situation: - contact ftpmasters + release to warn them - prepare a freetype2.1.9 source package providing the same binary packages as in the past - prepare a freetype source package with the transitionned package names you described - upload freetype - when it gets accepted (out of NEW), upload freetype2.1.9 This is a proposal, release or ftpmasters should agree with this first. -- Loïc Minier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "What do we want?
