Package: alien
Version: 8.67
Severity: wishlist
Recently, a bug was reported against libc6, then pushed to
nspluginwrapper that indicated a directory was conflicting with another
package during an upgrade.
It transpired that alien was used to convert the package from rpm to
deb.
It would be helpful if alien could append a suffix to the release number
of packages it converts, so that the package is easily identifiable in
bug reports. For example:
0.9.91.4-1
Would become:
0.9.91.4-1~alien
(suggestion came from a discussion with Pierre Habouzit, regaring bug
425031, http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=425031)
