No, just some kind of ABI thing, but I doubt xrdp upstream already even guarantees stable ABIs for 0.x releases. Probably something like the X server itself or Perl, where xrdp Provides xrdp-abi (= 0.9.21) and xorgxrdp Depends xrdp-abi (= 0.9.12) and therefore automatically needs a binNMU to get the newer one *and* lockstep upgrades are enforced by that. >From the Debian Policy "Declaring relationships between packages" > >"The Depends field should be used if the depended-on package is required for >the depending package to provide a significant amount of functionality." Yes. Not applicable here, xrdp does not need xorgxrdp to provide a significant part of use cases. xorgxrdp is a plugin that can be added to provide the third significant use case out of three, AIUI. bye, //mirabilos -- 15:41⎜<Lo-lan-do:#fusionforge> Somebody write a testsuite for helloworld :-)
