That doesn't address the problem that happens during upgrade -- which is
repeatable. If you remove gitosis_0.2+20080219-1 and then install
gitosis_0.2_20080118-1 and try to upgrade, you will see the same problem;
because gitosis_0.2+20080118-1 *depends* on python-setuptools, and yet
gitosis_0.2+20080219-1 *conflicts* with python-setuptools.
Proof below -- I've removed gitosis and python-setuptools and try to
install gitosis_0.2+20080118-1 :
# dpkg -i gitosis_0.2+20080118-1_all.deb
Selecting previously deselected package gitosis.

Unpacking gitosis (from gitosis_0.2+20080118-1_all.deb) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of gitosis:
gitosis depends on python-setuptools; however:
Package python-setuptools is not installed.
Now I use aptitude to install python-setuptools and complete the
installation of gitosis_0.2+20080118-1 :
Selecting previously deselected package python-setuptools.

Press return to continue.
Now I go try to upgrade gitosis to gitosis_0.2+20080219-1:

Please update your gitosis package such that the control information shows
that it conflicts with python-setuptools, or else anybody using the old
gitosis package will have a an upgrade failure.
If you're able to upgrad from gitosis 0.2+20080118-1 -> 0.2+20080219-1 without
manual intervention, please show it. Prove me wrong.
As far as I can see, no matter what way I look at it, your pacakge has a bug,
because it fails to upgrade cleanly. Better to fix it now than leave the
problem until the realease time of Lenny.
