I fully agree. I've just talked to one of the RMs: Apparently this is a
thing that should be done by the ftp-masters. So I'll now retitle this
bug to their requirements and reassign it to them. We will then need to
update the priority in debian/controll in the next upload.

I just investigated the pimd/xorp situation:

- - pimd: Pimd does also unconditionally call setsockopt() with MRT_INIT
  on daemon startup. So it cannot co-exist with smcroute on the same
  system.

- - xorp: Without modifying /etc/default/xorp doesn't start the daemon
  at all. But even if the daemon is run (eg. with its default
  configuration) it apparently does not call setsockopt() with MRT_INIT
  on startup. I don't know though whether setsockopt() might get called
  later.

Given that xorp does not neccessarily interfere with smcroute, the only
conflicting package is pimd. Hence I now think it is reasonable to
simply let smcroute conflict with pimd and be done with it. I will cater
for updated priority and dependencies in the next upload (sometimes
after the Squeeze release).

Regards,
Micha
