If too complex, it should be sufficient to announce what will be done in NEWS.Debian (with apt-listchanges, the user could do a backup first, and if he doesn't use apt-listchanges, he probably doesn't care) and choose one of the solutions (not 3, because it could use too much disk space). Probably 2, as the user probably won't downgrade and won't have to remove the old files manually. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
