in Korea. Also, the upstream source maintainer might be in Romania,
and might

Here's the scenario that I hope a Replaces fiels might resolve. I'm

How about the option of a better record of what has happened?

is going to be done with the german ftp

I've created binary-alpha and binary-sparc directories under the
