tag #496482 patch thanks I agree with the assesment that the libneon25 and libneon25-dbg packages serve no purpose and are pretending to offer some functionality they cleary don't. The libneon25-dev package could probably stay, since libneon27-dev conflicts with the older versions of it anyway.
So I think the following patch is sufficient to close the bug: diff -u neon27-0.28.2/debian/changelog neon27-0.28.2/debian/changelog --- neon27-0.28.2/debian/changelog +++ neon27-0.28.2/debian/changelog @@ -1,3 +1,13 @@ +neon27 (0.28.2-5.1) unstable; urgency=high + + * Non-maintainer upload. + * Remove the really non-sensical neon25 transitional packages. + Leave only libneon25-dev, because that might actually serve a + purpose.
