I'm glad you asked TBH, because I wasn't happy about that name either. I
think I might use the name roxterm-gtk2 instead. To make it easier for
people who want to stay with GTK2 I could either add a line to the GTK3
one's description referring to the GTK2 version or rename the GTK3-based
package too, eg to roxterm-gtk3. In the latter case would adding
"Replaces: roxterm" cause it to automatically replace roxterm at apt-get
upgrade (or only dist-upgrade?) or would I have to make a meta-package?
