Personally, to catch this (rather special, I dare say) case, I'd ignore transitional packages (I don't know if lintian already has a definition of those, but I'd define them as "priority extra/optional, section oldlibs, any('dummy transitional', 'transitional package') in the long description"). -- regards, Mattia Rizzolo GPG Key: 66AE 2B4A FCCF 3F52 DA18 4D18 4B04 3FCD B944 4540 .''`. more about me: https://mapreri.org : :' : Launchpad user: https://launchpad.net/~mapreri `. `'` Debian QA page: https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=mattia `-
