Its my understanding (from reading the forum posting) that not only does
the transmission package contain clutch, but also  contains a newer
version which will conflict with the one contained in the clutch-
package.

The clutch-package requires transmission version less than 1.3, and
breaks versions 1.3 and greater.

As a side story, I ran across this situation talking to someone on IRC,
who was a user of clutch, and could not get it working with the new
transmission.  I've never used clutch-package myself, but I tested the
web interface in transmission (the integrated clutch) and it seemed to
work fine.  So this kinda confirms what I see on the forum posting.

As for a valid upgrade path, I think the major difference between the old 
clutch and the new clutch is that the new clutch has a built in webserver.  So, 
the new (versions greater than 1.3) transmission package should conflict with 
the package clutch,  the clutch package should be removed from the intrepid 
repos.  
This would cause the old clutch package to be removed.  Any webserver 
configuration that people did to get that old clutch working, will have to be 
removed manually, since it was put in place manually in the first place?  I 
dunno.

PS - you can look at the relevant IRC logs here: 
http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2008/10/09/%23ubuntu+1.html    Just do a search for 
clutch.  Its between me(danbh_intrepid) and chamunks   (there really isn't much 
to see.  He just says he can't get it working, and I offer to take a look.  If 
I ever see chamunks again, I'll ask him to comment on this bug report.)
