Well, in that case that problem exists right now as well, as the openmsx package does not include any version of cbios; it just Depends: on the cbios package. While I'm not sure if this is something that requires fixing (I need to think more about that), the proper way to fix it would be inside the cbios package, I think. Those copies are only included in openmsx for convenience; the cbios package (including old versions of it) is the source for those binaries. If they need to be installed, it should be done from the package that has their source. Copying the source to also be available in the openmsx package (where the binaries aren't even used) doesn't make sense to me. So as far as the openmsx package is concerned, I think we should just remove the binaries from the source package. Then the next step is to solve this problem (or decide that it does not need solving) in the cbios package. Thanks, Bas
