And I think the gimp-data-min shouldn't be obsoleted/provided by gimp1_3, since this is an really old artifact from 1.0-1.2 days. If gimp-data-min package still exist for now, it won't conflict with gimp1_3, so there's not much point to provide/obsolete gimp-data-min in gimp1_3.

This is true, for gimp 1.2. But for 1.3, I guess we don't need to provide/obsolete hackgimp again.

Titi, would you mind if I'm submitting changes to you too? Beside the stuff Andy mentioned, I have heavily modified quite a lot of places so that many old artifacts from 1.1/1.2 days are gone, and bring back color modules etc.
