OK. Would it be OK to make these dependencies be of the form
"libasound2t64 | libasound2" and so on, or is it a requirement that we
use only the new name?
The version of game-data-packager in testing/unstable has generally
remained installable on older suites like stable, and I'd prefer that
to remain true if possible (but if that's a problem for the transition,
then we can sacrifice that desirable property to simplify things).
game-data-packager generates non-distributable .deb packages which can
be installed onto end-user systems, and some of those have dependencies
too, of which at least libsmpeg-0.4.so.0 has been affected by this
transition. To avoid needing to know the target Debian release when
generating those packages, I'd prefer to turn that into a dependency
on libsmpeg0t64 | libsmpeg0 rather than just libsmpeg0t64 if that isn't
going to be disruptive.
I believe libasound2t64 is the only one of these dependencies that will
affect the packages in contrib.
