Are all of the plugin packages being renamed along with the application? Will each of these packages need to conflict/replace the old package name to ensure a smooth transition? Are the dependencies on sylpheed-claws-gtk2 auto-generated from the build-dependency somehow, or will they need to each be updated manually for the transition? Not all of the plugin packages are from the sylpheed-claws-gtk2 source package; will the multiple source packages need to be updated in testing together, and will the package relationships reflect this to prevent any accidents? Will the build-dependencies of s-c-gtk2-extra-plugins change on package rename, will the change prevent or allow the package to be built with the current libsylpheed-claws-gtk2-dev, and what are the consequences of this if any? These are the kinds of issues that constitute "interplay", and make this a potentially risky update. The release team doesn't have time right now to help make sure the transition is a smooth one, and we can't really afford a rough one, sorry. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
