Another possible solution is to just give any package an implicit Replaces (possibly constrained to /usr/share/doc) on any other package with the same name and version and a different architecture. This isn't as defensive, in that it doesn't catch legitimate bugs where someone has made a mistake and the packages contain different contents, but it also solves the binNMU issue (well, "solves"; the changelog will randomly swap back and forth between the packages, but I'm having a hard time being convinced this is a huge problem). -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-dpkg-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
