Hi Osamu Very good information! I was not aware of this change. I will document that this package may be obsolete, at least to some extent. However I do not think that will be done before the lenny release. I have to learn what the new apt function do before I document. But if you have a proposed text that is of course good. :-) Thanks for the information.
