These aren't features I'm suggesting; they've already been proposed,
designed, discussed and implemented.
The spec for Breaks: is here
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/1997/10/msg00643.html
(yes, 1997!). The implementation has already been merged into lenny's
dpkg, apt and aptitutude but it is unfortunately not practical to use
it in lenny, so the relevant packaging manuals have not yet been
updated. The only thing which is missing is the (almost trivial)
change to dselect, which it is imperative that we include in lenny.
The spec for triggers as implemented is here:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/2007/08/msg00009.html
and also in my dpkg git tree's doc subdirectory.
Ian.
