"apt-get install" would likely figure the correct order of debs.
However, "apt-get dist-upgrade" won't know how to upgrade the old
packages. So you probably need transitional packages:
https://wiki.debian.org/Renaming_a_Package
A transitional package would probably be overkill for a package whose
sole reverse dependency is its debug package. Besides, the package is
fairly new to the main archive, so damages are likely to remain very
limited if not inexistent.
Well, the packages have non-zero popcon... But maybe you're right it
would be overkill.
Could I just indicate the change in NEWS so apt-listchanges indicate
that breackage could happen if the -dbg is installed and that the
solution is to just let aptitude remove it and install the renamed -dbg
?
As I understand it, no breakage should happen; it's just the packages
won't get upgraded (unless the user manually requests to install those
with new names).
