Look at package split... You split the package too much... >>I don't >>think that you convinced Joerg that there are ugly meta packages needed >>for coexistence of development packages...

How is a user to automatically > update to the latest version? There are only a very few of this *empty* meta packages... though there are a lot of unversioned development packages... Apparantly you didn't understand Joerg's proposal? He proposed to remove the empty packages and to drop the version in the *name* of the development, debug (and documentation) package. This will make sure that a user automatically updates to the latest version... > Or by "ask (or try)", do you mean that I should re-upload again? No, unless you think it will be accepted.
