Ian> Can't you fix this up in the postinst ? I thought about that. However, a) two different packages installed that file, and removing the file in postinst would leave the second package in an unusable state if only one was upgraded, b) I did not want to leave the removal of the file in the postinst scripts of the packages, since the installation of /etc/organization was a temporary aberration; later versions should probably not touch that file (even if it exists) in case it has been installed as a part of a user installed software package, c) the versions of the packages in question did not receive a wide circulation, being limited to the alpha-test archive. However, if it is deemed worth the trouble, I could upload a new set of revisions whose psotinst files delete the deprecated /etc/organization file.
