I went with libglobalarrays-dev as that seemed easiest. Does anybody think Conflicts/Provides/Replaces are needed? AFAIK, there's no reverse build-dependencies for "our" libga-dev yet, so it shouldn't be a big problem; but any possible current users would be confused. Then again, that might hijack the other libga-dev even more. Michael
